Facebook does not provide a direct way to see exactly who is stalking or viewing your profile due to privacy reasons. However, there are some indirect methods and tips to get an idea of who might be frequently checking your profile:
- Check Facebook Story Viewers: If you post a Facebook Story, you can see the list of people who viewed it within 24 hours. Frequent viewers who don’t normally interact with you might be potential stalkers
- Look at Interactions: People who consistently like, comment on, or react to your posts, especially old ones, might be paying extra attention to your profile
- "People You May Know" Suggestions: Facebook’s algorithm may show frequent profile visitors in your "People You May Know" list, giving a hint about who might be looking at your profile often
- Professional Mode Dashboard (Limited Info): By enabling professional mode on your profile, you can see the number of profile visits but not the specific names of visitors
- Viewing Page Source (Unreliable and Technical): Some users attempt to find profile visitor IDs by viewing the page source on desktop and searching for "BUDDY_ID" tags, but this method is not officially supported and may not be accurate
Important Warnings:
- Facebook does not share profile visitor data with users, and third-party apps claiming to reveal stalkers are often scams that can compromise your data
- To protect your privacy, use Facebook’s privacy settings to limit who can see your posts and profile, block suspicious users, and regularly review your audience settings
In summary, while you cannot see a definitive list of who stalks your Facebook profile, monitoring story viewers, interactions, and privacy settings can help you identify suspicious behavior and protect your account. Avoid third-party apps promising to reveal stalkers as they are unreliable and risky
