Facebook’s official stance on this has remained unchanged for over a decade. The platform who views your personal timeline. What Facebook Officially Says
Facebook has maintained a strict, official stance on this policy since its inception. According to Facebook’s official Help Center, the platform does not allow people to track who views their profile. Furthermore, they explicitly state that third-party apps cannot provide this functionality either. If you come across an app claiming to offer this service, Facebook requests that you report the app immediately. Why "Facebook Profile Viewer" Apps and Tools Are Scams
If you post a Facebook Story (photos or short videos that disappear after 24 hours), Facebook tracks exactly who views it. For friends, you will see their names listed under the story viewers. If your story privacy is set to "Public," you will see a count of "Other Viewers," though their specific names will remain anonymous to protect their privacy. 2. Facebook Professional Mode & Pages
The most dangerous fake "Profile Viewers" are executable files (.exe). These programs claim to run a deep scan of your account. Instead, they install keyloggers or ransomware. Given that Facebook holds your phone number, email, photos, and private messages, giving an .exe file access to your logged-in browser is a catastrophic security risk.
While you cannot see a list of "viewers," you can see who interacts with specific content: Facebook Stories
