How do I know if someone is using my Facebook account?

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

If someone pops up on Facebook as "someone you might know," does that mean the person has recently viewed my profile?

Community Answer

No. Facebook asks for your phone number to create an account. They can tell if your phone number has been used to contact any other registered phone number with a Facebook account. That's where the "someone you might know" recommendations come from.

Question

Why can't I add someone that I deleted in the past?

Community Answer

The person may not allow others to add them as a friend. They might have also blocked you.

Can I get old messages from my account as far back as 6 months ago on Facebook?

Community Answer

If it isn't deleted yet, yes. You do have to search for that person's name in Messenger.

You can't get deleted messages back; deletion is permanent on Facebook. To be secure, you might want to archive your Facebook data.

Question

How would I know if someone took a screenshot of my post?

Community Answer

Typically, a screenshot is made the moment a post is made. If your phone flashes at top of screen, a screenshot has occurred or remote access to your camera has taken a picture. Otherwise, you will not know if a screenshot has been made of your post.
