We all wonder how do we look from the outside. Although people say what other people think about you is not important, it is true. We don’t always have the chance to see us from the outside, but we can do it on Facebook. So, how to view your profile as someone else? Let’s find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facebook might seem like a social platform that reflects many things about its users. However, that is not the truth. Just like Instagram, people are not always living the life that they show on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we were students, we could see some of our friends were always online. How could this be? Aren’t they studying or supposed to study or something? We never know, but it is not the truth. Once you open the Facebook page and forget about it, you are seen online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we search for people on Facebook, we can see their profile as much as they let us see. We can access the full content on their profile only when we are friends with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facebook users can adjust their profiles and hide some of the content from public viewers. This is what we are after, isn’t it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if we have privatized our Facebook profile, we may have some content open to the public. If you have adjusted your Facebook account as more of a private account, but you don’t remember when you did it, then seeing your profile as someone else might come in handy to fix that problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, there is a way to view your Facebook profile as someone else. It is totally legit as well. It is called the ‘View As’ option. Well, what is ‘Views As’, tho?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ‘View As’ Option<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Facebook has heard people asking how to view their Facebook profile as someone else and decided to act. As a result, Facebook has introduced the ‘View As’ option. This way, people could see their profiles as someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this feature does not let you view your profile as a friend. You can only see your profile as someone from the public; in other words, someone who is not a friend of yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed it is important, and people started to use this feature commonly until September 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facebook has decided to disable this option due to a security issue that affected 50 million accounts. It was because people could have viewed users’ access tokens, and this resulted in malicious people taking over users’ accounts. However, they have decided to re-enable this option after 8 months, and people can use it freely just as they want without any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you want more control over who interacts with your posts, you can also learn how to make a post shareable on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let’s take a look at how we can use this feature.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
    \n
  1. Go to your profile page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Take a look at the ‘Activity Log’ button on your cover photo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Click on the three-dotted button next to ‘Activity Log.’<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Then click on ‘View As<\/a>.’<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    That is it. Now, you can view your Facebook profile as someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
