[FAQ]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to figure out how to see a full list of everyone who follows me on Facebook, but I’m running into some trouble. I’ve heard it should be possible, but I either can’t find the right place or the list seems incomplete.

Is there a specific section I should be looking at? And does it make a difference if this is for my personal profile versus a Facebook Page I manage? I’m trying to understand who my audience is, but it’s frustrating when I can’t seem to get a clear picture.

Has anyone else experienced this or know the best way to view all your followers? Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

It’s a common question why seeing all Facebook followers can be tricky. The main reason is it works differently for Personal Profiles versus Facebook Pages.

For Personal Facebook Profiles: First, check your settings. Go to ‘Settings & Privacy,’ then ‘Settings,’ and find ‘Followers and public content.’ Make sure ‘Who can follow me’ is set to ‘Public.’ If it’s ‘Friends,’ you won’t have separate public followers. To see the list, go to your profile, then the ‘Friends’ tab, and look for a ‘Followers’ sub-tab. On mobile, it’s often in your ‘About info.’ A key point: Facebook is pushing personal profiles to use ‘Professional Mode’ to have public followers. If you’re not in this mode, seeing public, non-friend followers might be limited or unavailable. If you have no public followers, the list won’t show.

For Facebook Pages: Page admins can usually find follower lists in the Page’s ‘Settings’ (look for ‘People and other Pages’) or sometimes under a ‘Community’ or ‘Followers’ tab directly on the Page. Meta Business Suite also provides audience data and follower information. For Pages with many followers, Facebook might show summaries or recent followers rather than one exhaustive list of every single name.

Common reasons for not seeing followers include incorrect privacy settings on a profile, Facebook changing its layout (which it does often), or looking in the wrong place based on whether it’s a profile or a Page.

If you can specify whether you’re checking a personal profile or a Facebook Page, that would help narrow down the advice.

Cheers,

Jeff
