How to tell if someone viewed your facebook page

Easy guide to tell if someone has viewed your Facebook profile.

By India Today Web Desk: Given how much data and personal information each Facebook account has, it's understandable to be concerned about your privacy from time to time. People can visit your account and always find something fresh because some Facebook information is public, regardless of your privacy settings.

Contrary to popular opinion, you do have the ability to see who has viewed your profile if you have a Facebook account. Most third-party programmes that purport to make it simple don't operate well or at all, and Facebook doesn't make it easy. You can, however, employ various workarounds to get a peek at your visitor list.

STEPS TO SEE WHO VIEWED FACEBOOK PROFILE ON IPHONE:

• After you've opened the Facebook app on your smartphone, log in to your own Facebook account.
• In the right-hand corner of the app, tap the "three lines" to access your main menu.
• Select "Privacy Shortcuts" from the drop-down menu.
• Select "Who Viewed My Profile" from the drop-down menu.

STEPS TO SEE WHO VIEWED YOUR FACEBOOK PROFILE ON A MAC OR PC:

• Launch your favourite web browser.
• Go to your Facebook page and log in.
• To access your profile, click on your username.
• Right-click on a blank portion of your profile page with your mouse.
• From the menu, choose "View Page Source." The pop-up console will display a number of tabs, including the page's source code as it was loaded.
• To open the search bar, press "Ctrl+F."
• In the search bar, type "InitialChatFriendsList" without the quotations.
• This function will generate a list of profile code numbers for you. One profile code number at a time should be highlighted and copied.
• Open a new tab in your browser.
• Type http://facebook.com/ into your browser. One of the code numbers should be pasted after the "/." This will send you to a profile that has most likely seen your page recently.
• Step 10 should be repeated for every profile number located on the source page of your profile.
