The ability to identify individuals who have accessed one’s Facebook profile is a frequently sought-after feature. Understanding who is looking at a profile might offer insights into various social dynamics and levels of personal or professional interest.
Interest in this capability stems from a desire for heightened awareness of one’s online presence. Knowing the audience, even anonymously, can be perceived as a benefit for managing one’s public image and understanding network reach. Historically, third-party applications have promised this functionality, but their legitimacy is often questionable.
