Facebook Creeping: Routine Activity
Facebook creeping is especially common among young people.
Of course, there are natural limits to creeping on Facebook.
Users can set their privacy profiles so that only their friends can see what they have posted.
But many people also post material on theirFacebook timelinesthat anyone can see.
Also, suppose a mutual friend has posted something to someone’s timeline.
How to Tell If Someone’s Creeping You on Facebook?
Everyone would love to know who’s been checking them out on Facebook, right?
Facebook has opted not to allow users to see who has viewed their profiles or individual posts and photos.
By default, this feature shows users how many have checked out their profiles in the past 90 days.
For some users, it also shows the names of those creepers.
It can be off-putting to the person who’s been “creeped.”
