You Can Track Your Facebook Profile Visitors Now – Find Out How?

What is the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning? Check out your social media notification?

The likes, comments, and shares, all have become a part of our daily life.

We all know that Facebook is a free and widely accepted platform running all over the world.

Hence, in addition to providing a comfy way to connect yourself with your family, friends, and others, the platform also gives rise to a number of security hazards you are likely to face either today or tomorrow.

Anyone across the world can see the text, photos, or videos you share and use it for wrong deeds if you do not handle your Facebook account with caution.

Although the platform provides an ample number of options and privacy settings to keep your account safe and secure, keeping a track of your profile visitor is somewhat a tough nut to crack.

However, having a clear and record of the individuals visiting your Facebook profile becomes really important to assure better security of your private data (such as photos and videos).

Looking at these scenarios, I was always curious for a long time to know who viewed or is viewing my Facebook profile constantly.

To my fortune, finally I have got an answer that I am sharing with you all.

As the method is a little technical, you may find it a bit hard to understand and follow, however, I will try to keep it as simple as I can.

Let’s start –

Step by Step Method to Track Your Facebook Profile Visitors

1. Launch Facebook in your desired browser.
2. Log in with your name and password.
3. Navigate to your profile page. You can do this by clicking on your name given in the top left corner.
   

   

4. Perform a right mouse click anywhere on the page and select the view page source option.
   This will take you to the HTML source file of your profile page.
   

   

   Note: You may find this HTML file confusing and scary if you do not belong to an IT background.
   Don’t worry. Simply follow the further steps to reach your desired goal without concerning about the file structure.
5. Type CTRL + F on the keyboard. You will notice a search bar displayed on the top of the screen.
   

   

   Note: The command is specifically for windows. You are required to type Command (⌘) + F if you are on MAC.
6. Simply copy the below-mentioned code and paste it to the search bar displayed
   Code : Initial chat friends list
   

   

7. The command will display a group of numbers arranged in a sequential form. These huge numbers are nothing but the Facebook profile ids of the people who have recently toured your profile.
   

   

8. When you will copy a number and paste it to the browser just after the Facebook URL (www.facebook.com)  and hit enter, you will be able to see the details of the Facebook user who visited your profile.
   Note: Make sure you are logged in to your Facebook account while following the process. Also, don’t forget to give a separator(/) between the Facebook URL and the underlying profile ID like below
   www.facebook.com/xxxxxxxxxxxxx
   Here xxxxxx…. should be replaced with the profile ID you wish to copy-paste.

The same steps can be followed multiple times targeting each profile ID you have found on the source page.

Let’s have a step-by-step look at the first alternative method

Guys the option has been recently added by Facebook people and is a bit controversial. It is working only for the lucky ones and not for all. You are more likely to find the feature if you are on an iOS device. Do perform a check if you are in the list of those lucky ones.

Apart from this, you can also take the help of the Google Chrome extension to figure out the visitors of your Facebook profile. The steps to accomplish this are given as under

Method 2:

One iOS application that you can try without fear is ‘social fans’. The application is capable of providing you with the entire information about your Facebook visitors.

You can easily locate and download the application from the iTunes store.
