To see who views your Facebook story but are not your friends, here is what you need to know:
- When you post a Facebook story, if it is set to "Public," anyone on Facebook can view it, including people who are not your friends or followers
- Facebook shows you the names of viewers who are your friends or followers. However, for viewers who are not your friends and do not follow you, Facebook does not reveal their names. Instead, it shows a count labeled as "Others" or "Other viewers" at the bottom of the viewers list
- To check this, open your Facebook app, tap on your story, then tap on the viewer count or eye icon. You will see the list of friends and followers who viewed it, and at the bottom, a number indicating how many non-friends viewed your story. You cannot see the individual identities of these non-friend viewers
- This is a privacy feature by Facebook to protect the anonymity of non-friend viewers while still giving you some insight into your story's reach
- If you want to avoid having unknown viewers, you can change your story privacy settings to "Friends" only. This way, only your friends can see your story, and you will see the names of all viewers
In summary, you cannot see the specific identities of non-friends who view your Facebook story; you only see a number indicating how many non-friends viewed it if your story is public
. To see exact viewers, limit your story visibility to friends only.
