Want to know how many people are checking out your Facebook profile? You can actually see your account views and insights, and it's easier than you think.

You can access your Facebook Insights from your Facebook Page. If you don't have a Page, you can create one and then switch to the Page view.

To see your account views, go to your Facebook Page and click on the "Insights" tab.

Viewing Your Facebook Account Activity

The feature is only available on the iOS app for now, and it shows who visited your profile in the past 30 days, past day, as well as who has viewed your most recent posts. You can find this feature just below the new "Privacy Checkup" feature.

You can now see who has viewed your Facebook profile, a feature that's been a long time coming.

This new feature is a result of the Cambridge Analytica scandal and the resulting privacy concerns. Users were fleeing the platform, and Facebook had to act fast to regain trust.

The feature is buried deep in your privacy settings, but it's worth digging for. To access it, open the main drop-down menu and scroll all the way down to "Privacy Shortcuts."

You'll find the new "Who viewed my profile?" option just below the "Privacy Checkup" feature.

The list shows who viewed your profile in the past 30 days, past day, and who has viewed your most recent posts.

Viewers of Your Facebook Stories

You can see who's looking at your Facebook Stories by opening the story and tapping the "Viewers" icon at the bottom-left corner. This will show you a list of everyone who has seen your story within the 24-hour period.

To check who has viewed your Facebook Story, follow these steps: Open the Facebook app or facebook.com, navigate to your story under the "Feed" page, and tap "Viewers" in the bottom left to see who has viewed your story.

If you're using an Android or iPhone, you can also swipe up across your story to see who viewed it. Keep in mind that Facebook doesn't notify you if someone views your story multiple times or takes a screenshot.

Here's a quick rundown of how to see who viewed your Facebook Story:

  • Post reach and engagement
  • Page views and visitor demographics
  • Follower growth
