Is it possible for someone to tell you have looked at their Facebook page?

Just that.

Can you tell if someone has been stalking your Facebook?

I'm very convinced if you look at someone's page you appear on their suggested friends....
Someone new at work (no mutual friends) appeared on my (and others) suggested friends list within a few days of working with us, so clearly having a nosey at our profiles.

So no one knows how the algorithm works but you know that what I’m
Saying is not correct?

Sorry, I’m not convinced. There is no way this person can show on my FB without her having searched for me.

@ChardonnaysDistantCousin they might have friends with people who are friends of yours.

They might have 'checked jn' to the same place.

They might live locally.

They might 'like' similar pages.

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 13/01/2020 10:30

No to all of those.,

GiveHerHellFromUs · 13/01/2020 10:31

You can't possibly know that

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 13/01/2020 10:34

I have no one from work on FB. Checking in is not applicable because I don’t use FB on my phone, also if that somehow were the case I would have dozens of other suggestions, which I don’t.

I have nothing in common with the woman apart from the fact that I worked with her.

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 13/01/2020 10:35

I can.

GiveHerHellFromUs · 13/01/2020 10:36

Yeah so you'll have been in the same location a lot...

Other people may have different settings - you can set your account so that people can't add you, see your account without you adding them etc

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 13/01/2020 10:46

It’s a huge location, I have work d with hundreds of other people there, no one else from there is ever suggested. Also, that was a couple of years ago, and she’s coming up now..

GiveHerHellFromUs · 13/01/2020 10:48

Are you really that interesting that she'd waste her time stalking you after two years?
So much so that that's the only viable option and makes more sense than all the other possibilities?

lostsoulsunited · 13/01/2020 10:52

I get people who I've never looked at with no mutual friends on my people you may know so there is more to it than just mutual friends.

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 13/01/2020 11:37

Yes, it’s the type of work I do.
She’s the one who needs me.

tisonlymeagain · 13/01/2020 11:40

The 'people you may know' definitely shows you people who have looked. My ex-husband was dating a new woman and he wasn't friends with her on FB, we have no mutual friends, I hadn't looked her up (didn't know her name) but she came up as a friend suggestion for me...

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 13/01/2020 11:42

In addition to me being fabulously riveting and clearly unforgettable.

GiveHerHellFromUs · 13/01/2020 11:43

@ChardonnaysDistantCousin in that case you're definitely right Wink

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 13/01/2020 11:55

I know!

Is it possible for someone to use Apps to view your fb friends list if its set to only me and other things that are privert my ex is claiming he can see who I add and what i do hes got an app feel like hes watching me all the time its stalking to me

Iftheclouds · 22/10/2020 17:24

I’ve had people come up on my people you may know after looking at their profile.

dinomumm · 22/10/2020 17:26

Well.. I once looked at a profile of someone, we had no mutual friends or anything but after I'd looked he came up on my people you may know... it didn't his though apparently. Although bare in mind if you have WhatsApp that is connected to Facebook so people in that could show up on people you may know. But no, they can't tell you've looked at their profile unless you accident like something 😩 which I've done before lol
