Before explaining how to see who has viewed a post on Facebook, I must provide you with some useful preliminary information, explaining what information can be obtained and, conversely, what data is not obtainable, using the native features made available by the social network founded by Mark Zuckerberg.
You must, in fact, know that Facebook does not offer an ad hoc function that allows you to have a list with all the names and surnames of those who have viewed a shared content on their profile .
Despite this, however, it is possible to know which and how many users have reached a shared content in the posts of their Facebook profile , based on the privacy settings, as well as on the interactions with multimedia or textual content.
As for the text or multimedia content published on your Facebook page , however, you can use the dedicated analysis tools, which allow you to know how many people the published content has reached.
Otherwise, as regards the Stories , it is possible to know exactly who viewed the contents you share in them, using the appropriate functionality of the social network.
All the operations mentioned, as I will explain in this tutorial, can be performed from a smartphone or tablet, using the Facebook app for Android (downloadable from the Play Store or from alternative stores ) and iOS / iPadOS , as well as from PC , via the Facebook’s official website or by using its application for Windows 10 and later.
