Some frequently asked questions
Is it possible to view someone's Facebook history without their knowledge?
Yes. However, this only works if you are using the Facebook app on a mobile device or tablet. To do this, open the Facebook story you want to view. Hold your finger on the left or right side of the screen. Then you need to swipe left or right without releasing your finger. This way you will be able to see the Facebook story without notifying the person.
What is the point of Facebook relationships?
Facebook stories give users a visual way to share content, whether in the form of video or photos. Many people also use this feature to promote a business or event.
How can I check who has seen my Facebook account?
Go to the story section at the top of your news feed and select your story. Tap the bottom left corner of the screen to see who has seen your story. If nothing appears, it means that no one has viewed your story yet.
Can a person see how many times I view their history?
No, a person cannot see how many times their stories have been displayed. If you catch yourself snooping on someone's story, you can rest easy knowing that the person won't find out. Moreover, you will never be able to know who your real Facebook stalkers are.
How do you respond to a story on Facebook?
At the top of the news feed, select the article you want to respond to. From there, tap "Send reply" at the bottom of the page. You'll have the option to reply with a message or simply with an emoji. Facebook recently introduced "Haha," "Wow," "Sad," "Angry" and "Love" emoticons to the stories feature. Your audience list will also include information about who has responded to any stories you have posted.
Can anyone see who was watching my Facebook story?
No. Only you will be able to see who has seen your Facebook story.
