If you see posts on your account that you didn't make, or if you get alerts from Facebook. If you even suspect that your account has been hacked, then you should immediately change your password , and you might want to consider enabling two step verification .

Question

Does "someone you might know" on Facebook indicate that they've recently viewed my profile?

Community Answer

No, it doesn't. Facebook suggests "someone you might know" by identifying connections between phone numbers or mutual friends, not by profile views.

Question

How can I tell if someone took a screenshot of my Facebook post?

Community Answer

Unfortunately, there is no reliable way to know if someone has taken a screenshot of your Facebook post, as Facebook does not notify users about screenshots.
