Reveal who is looking at your wall




















There are many things that Facebook tracks, including your location, your browsing history, and a variety of other habits. But the thing is, Facebook isn't doing all of this information tracking for you or your fellow users. It's doing this for the company's advertising platform.

Therefore this information is not available for you to just browse through. If Facebook did offer this information, you would know about it. Think of LinkedIn. Users who don't have a premium account often receive notifications that their profile has been viewed. To see who has viewed your LinkedIn profile , you can pay for the premium plan.

This fact is often advertised by the network. In contrast, Facebook does not offer this information to users. This is likely due to the fact that LinkedIn is a professional network, while Facebook is mostly personal. Being able to view who visited your profile on Facebook could be embarrassing for those who did—especially exes, secret admirers, or acquaintances.

Offering the option to view profile visitors on Facebook would likely deter people from using the service. So the company does not offer this information through any app or public-facing source code. So, if there's no way to see who has viewed your profile, why do so many apps claim that you can? Much of this is linked to data harvesting. The Cambridge Analytica scandal brought into focus just how much information can be harvested through apps. Facebook has cracked down on many dodgy apps, but there are always those that slip through.

Click "Most Recent" a second time to reveal your News Feed filter drop-down list. Filter your news feed by Status Updates, Photos, Links, Pages or Questions, which allows you to display only the type of content you're searching for. To search for content posted by a particular friend list, select the name of the list from the bottom of the drop-down menu. These 9 friends may be your closest friends, family members, crushes, Facebook stalkers or just friends that have recently viewed your profile.

Facebook most likely takes into account whose friends profiles and photos you view and who your friends view. And then compares these profile views in relation to all of your friends or in the case of your friends, what other friend profiles and photos they view more often. Keep in mind, because everyone has different friends, a different number of friends and different types of relationships, everyone will have a slightly different reason as to why certain people show up in their friends box.

Facebook is always tweaking its algorithm that determines these factors, so the reason why certain friends show up may always be changing slightly. These factors include: Interactions on Facebook. Facebook Inc. That is the central finding of a Wall Street Journal series, based on a review of internal Facebook documents, including research reports, online employee discussions and drafts of presentations to senior management. Mark Zuckerberg has said Facebook allows its users to speak on equal footing with the elites of politics, culture and journalism, and that its standards apply to everyone.

In private, the company has built a system that has exempted high-profile users from some or all of its rules. Many abuse the privilege, posting material including harassment and incitement to violence that would typically lead to sanctions. Facebook says criticism of the program is fair, that it was designed for a good purpose and that the company is working to fix it.

Listen to a related podcast. Researchers inside Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, have been studying for years how its photo-sharing app affects millions of young users. Repeatedly, the company found that Instagram is harmful for a sizable percentage of them, most notably teenage girls, more so than other social-media platforms. Facebook made a heralded change to its algorithm in designed to improve its platform—and arrest signs of declining user engagement.
