But what happens when people we don't want to show our content to get to see these featured stories?

In today's article we will be answering the question: How do I know who sees my Facebook highlights? Whether you want to find out which potential customers or followers your stories reach or you want to control who can or cannot see said content. We'll also teach you what you can do to prevent some people from seeing your featured stories.

Are Facebook Stories Highlights public?

We want to start this article by explaining that the Facebook highlights stories are public default. In other words, if you have not messed with their configuration, it is most likely that their visibility is public and, therefore, everyone can see their content. However, you can change visibility mode from "public" to "only for my friends" or "custom" mode, and later we will explain how to do it.

Facebook shows you when someone views your story, but not how many times they did.

Facebook saves the profiles of the people who see your featured stories as a kind of "list". To consult that list and find out who viewed a story of yours, do the following:

  1. Go to the top of the feed (ie the Facebook interface).
  2. In the section where the Stories, open the one that says Your history. Find an old story in your story archive
  3. Go to the featured story you want to know who viewed it on.
  4. Tap on Spectators (the eye icon) in the bottom left.
  5. In this section you can find the list of people who have seen your story. If only one paragraph appears and no names are listed, no one has seen your story yet.

Spy on social networks

Is it possible to view Facebook stories without revealing your identity? Here are two possible methods.

If I see a person's featured stories, can they notice? The direct answer would be yes, there is no way to prevent the Facebook app from detecting a view. However, there is one trick or another to see someone's featured content without revealing your identity.

For example, you can ask a friend or family member to lend you their account for a moment of the social network and use it to see the featured story. Of course, keep in mind that if the person in question has configured the privacy of their stories so that only their friends can see it, you will have to use a Facebook account that has added that person as a friend, of course.

Another option would be to use a fake facebook account (with invented name and photos taken from the Internet). Through the fake account you will be able to see the highlights of anyone without revealing your true identity. Although as with the previous method, if this person only shares his stories with his friends, you will have to send him the friend request from the fake account.
