There are many reasons to view a private Facebook profile. Checking up on your ex? How about wanting to check out who he/she left you for? Maybe you just want to check out someone you think is hot. Or maybe someone hates you and would never accept your friend request but you are still dying to see their profile.
Now lets get down to business.
Scenario #1: Private profile that happens to have mutual friends or their entire friend list displayed.
If you’re lucky and their profile looks like the one below and you can see who they’re friends with, this works almost 100% of the time..
What we’re going to do is pretend to be one of her friends who had their account hacked and that they’re trying to re-add everyone on their list.
The first step is to choose one of their friends and click on the friend’s profile. You don’t want to click on one of her friends that pop up on their main page because that may be a friend she chooses to always display and they’ll know something is up.
After clicking See All, randomly scroll down the friend’s list and pick someone like we did in the following picture.
Next, we’re going to view Elizabeth’s profile and save her profile picture to use as our fake account’s profile picture.
The next step is the most time consuming part but you can do it in 5 minutes. Create a new Facebook account with a spare email that you have. The important part is we’re going to make an account with the friend’s name and use the profile picture that you just saved. Go to the privacy options of the profile and turn everything thing private except the profile picture so when someone else sees the account it looks like this:
Now here’s where the magic happens! As you’re logged into your fake profile, go back and find the private Facebook profile you want to view. Add the person as a friend but you must include a personal message with the friend request.
Here’s what you need to write:
After you write all that, go ahead and send that friend request!
Here’s what’s going to go in that person’s head:
“Oooh new friend request! Let’s see… who is it? Oh! It’s Liz. Aren’t I already friends with her? Yup, I do remember that profile picture. Did she defriend me and I didn’t notice? Oh wait, she sent me a message with the request… Poor girl! Her account got hacked. That’s terrible. I’ll just re-add her. Hope that doesn’t happen to me!”
You can now view her once private Facebook profile. You’re smart. Pat yourself on the back.
