Can Someone Tell That I Have Looked At Their Profile ?

[Samuraisan]

I have been just fiddling around and searched for member of my family with whom I had a bit of a fracas 15 odd years ago, and found her. I had a little look at her page , just to make sure it was her, and it was. Can she tell I have looked ?

Not unless you accidently sent a "friend's request"

[Samuraisan]

Thanks factor. I don't think I did. But anyway, even if I did Imdoubt she'd accept ! Families !

Unlikely but ought you have said what site you were looking on ? If it has a profile it doesn't sound much like a personal webpage.

What site was you looking at? Facebook, her own webpage, what?

[Peter Pedant]

This is called 'lurking' looking but no doing anything else

I think it is undetectable unless the page is set up to record everyone who comes onto it. Lots of people do it

the CEO of one the city regulators is said to llurk around a site that is renowned for unmoderated criticism ( of him )

if facebook you're on about there is a supposedly app, if that's what you call it, shows who's been looking at your profile . trying to find link

[hc4361]

ducksie, it's been stated time and time again that no such app exists, they are all fake apps

You can see which one of your Friends has had the most interface with you. Mine is my daughter.

Is interface the right word?

[ducksie]

hc, I wish I'd seen your comment before I went on search, this is c+p from facebook: No. Facebook doesn't let you track who views your profile or your posts (ex: your photos). Third-party apps are also unable to do this.
If you come across an app that says it can show you who's viewing your profile or posts, please report the app.

So hc thanks for that, I never really believed it - but wasn't sure

[hc4361]

How can you see that, Chrissa?

And of course, if they aren't friends and just look and don't interact there would be no clue.

[chrissa1]

I think it was a "one-off" hc. FB, did it so you could see who your most contacted friend was. Basically, it probably confirmed what you already knew.

Yes, sorry, it was Facebook
