You cannot see a list of exactly who looks at your main Facebook profile page, and other people cannot see when you quietly view theirs either.

Quick Scoop: What Facebook really shows

Facebook does not provide any official feature that tells you “X, Y, and Z viewed your profile.”

That means:

  • No profile-view notifications for normal visits.
  • No hidden setting that reveals stalkers or secret viewers.
  • Anyone claiming they can show you a full list of “who viewed your profile” is using workarounds at best, or trying to scam you at worst.

Facebook’s design focuses on likes, comments, shares, and other visible engagement, not silent profile visits.

Where you can see viewers

You can see some kinds of viewers and engagement in specific places:

  • Stories :
    • When you post a Facebook Story, you can see the full list of accounts that viewed it for about 24 hours.
* This may include people who are not your friends, depending on your Story privacy settings.
  • Live videos :
    • During a live stream, Facebook shows you viewers while the live is happening and briefly afterwards, but not a permanent list for replays.
  • Professional Mode / Page Insights :
    • If you turn on Professional Mode or use a Facebook Page, you can see numbers and analytics —how many people visited, approximate demographics, etc.—but not a complete named list of everyone who viewed your profile.
* Insights focus on counts and trends, not “this exact person opened your profile at 3:02 PM.”

So: you get some names for Stories and Live, and anonymous stats for profiles and pages, but not a full “profile viewer” list.

What about tricks and “secret methods”?

You’ll often see:

  • YouTube videos or blog posts promising “How to see who viewed your Facebook profile (2026).”
  • Forum posts claiming a “hack” using Professional Mode plus Stories to guess who visited your profile.
  • Marketing tools that try to capture visitors by asking them to comment or message you, then logging that info.

What’s really going on:

  • Many tutorials explain legit features (Stories viewer list, Insights, etc.) but dress them up as a way to “see who viewed your profile.”
  • Some marketers use comment bots and Messenger autoresponders to get people who engage with your posts to opt in, then treat that as “visitors” data.
  • Reddit and other forums contain speculative “methods” that rely on indirect signals and assumptions (for example, “if someone viewed the first Story on your profile but not others, they probably visited your profile”), which are not guaranteed or official.

And importantly: any third‑party app that claims to unlock a secret list of profile viewers is not using an official Facebook feature, and such apps should be avoided for privacy and security.

Can others see that you looked at their page?

In normal situations:

  • Simply viewing someone’s profile does not alert them or show your name anywhere.
  • They can only see you if you:
    • Like, react to, or comment on their content.
* View or react to their Story.

* Appear as a viewer in a Live video during the broadcast.

If someone says “I can see that you viewed my Facebook page,” it’s usually because:

  • You interacted with a post without realizing it (accidental like or comment).
  • You watched their Story, which clearly shows your name.
  • They’re guessing, bluffing, or relying on indirect analytics, not an official “who viewed my profile” feature.

Safety tips (so you don’t get fooled)

  • Ignore apps, sites, or extensions that promise a full list of “who viewed your Facebook profile.”
  • Be wary of videos or posts that ask you to paste code, download files, or give login access to “unlock” viewer data.
  • Use Facebook’s built‑in privacy tools:
    • Adjust who can see your posts and Stories.
    • Lock or limit your profile visibility if you’re worried about unknown viewers.

Bottom line:
You can’t see a complete list of who looks at your Facebook page, and they can’t see a list for yours either—only specific features like Stories and Live show named viewers, and profile analytics stay mostly anonymous.

TL;DR:
“Can you see who looks at your Facebook page?” – Not as a full, official list. You only get partial insight through Stories, Lives, and anonymous stats, and anything claiming more than that is either a workaround, marketing trick, or potential scam.
