How to Protect Your Own Privacy

If you’re worried about others seeing your activity:

  • Adjust your privacy settings: Limit past posts, control who can send friend requests, and hide your friends list.
  • Use “View As” tool: See what your profile looks like to the public or specific people.
  • Block unwanted viewers: If someone is harassing you, block them directly.

1. Credential Theft (Account Hijacking)

The most common scam is a fake login page. The "viewer" asks you to log in again to "verify your identity." The moment you type your email and password, the hacker owns your account. They will change your password, lock you out, and use your profile to scam your friends. Step 1: Setting Up Your Facebook Developer Account and App

For Personal Profiles (Friends & Family)

Unfortunately, Facebook is adamant about this: You cannot see who views your personal profile.

However, there is one loophole: Facebook Stories. Go to the Facebook for Developers website :

Unlike posts or profiles, Stories have a native viewer list. When you upload a story (photo or video that disappears in 24 hours), you can swipe up to see exactly who watched it. This list is ordered by engagement, but it is accurate.

Why Stories work: Facebook believes that Stories are temporary and interactive, so showing viewers builds engagement. Profile views are passive browsing, which Facebook considers a private action.

What about "Profile View" apps? Do not fall for them. Facebook removed the "Who viewed your profile" feature back in 2010. It has never returned.
