For the majority of us here, Facebook is like our digital photobook. It is crammed with many pictures and videos that capture our priceless memories.
The hitch is that some people would rather not have some of their photos made public. Ever wondered about this seemingly secret side of Facebook? The spot where people hide their pictures from curious eyes?
Today, we’re strolling into the world of revealing those hidden Facebook photos. We’ll discuss the tricks you can use to see those hidden photos of someone on the platform.
Now, settle down as we review the specifics of locating those hidden photos on the platform. All set? Now, let’s get started!
Never forget how important it is to maintain privacy on social media. Users hide their pictures on social networking sites like Facebook for various reasons.
We acknowledge that there can be good reasons why you’re inclined to check out someone’s hidden photo collection. There are moments when all that matters is curiosity, and Facebook piques that interest.
This curiosity may stem from personal interest or just plain suspicion. In any case, you need to see those photos, which is what we will be searching for in the next parts.
Method 1: Check from a mutual friend’s profile
Do you share common friends with the target user? It’s Facebook; it’s uncommon not to have a single mutual friend.
You can always make a wild guess about your mutual friends. If the person is your high school classmate, more of your high school friends on the platform will be your and the target user’s friends.
However, you can also visit the target user’s profile and see the mutual friends there. Go to the friends section and find the mutual friends under it.
It’s time to implement the strategy when you have a mutual friend list. Convince them to hand over their Facebook-installed devices to you. Now, sign into their account to see if you can view the hidden pictures that were previously unavailable to you.
However, this strategy will not work if you have no common friends at all or if you do not have any cooperative mutual friends. If so, try one of the alternative approaches we’ve listed below.
Method 2: Look for the numeric Facebook ID
We’re not sure how many people in attendance know of the numeric Facebook ID. It’s there, but we overlook it since you don’t need it very frequently.
However, there are occasions, like right now, when knowing its location is important since it will enable users to view a person’s Facebook hidden images. This sequence of digits serves as a special identification associated with your account. We will walk you through how to use it to your advantage using the step-by-step instructions.
Steps to use numeric Facebook ID:
Step 1: Visit the Facebook app.
Step 2: Navigate to the target user’s profile next.
Step 3: Go to their Profile icon and right-click on it.
Step 4: After that, a menu with the option to Copy link address appears. Choose it.
Step 5: Paste the URL address into an open Word document or other compatible text editor.
Do you see the string of numbers highlighted? It’s your numeric ID.
Step 6: Next, you must search the graph on the app.
Use this link: https://www.facebook.com/search/Facebook_ID/photos-of/
Replace the Facebook_ID with the numeric ID and see the hidden stash of previously invisible photos.
Note: If Facebook_ID doesn’t work for the URL specified in the instructions, try FacebookID instead.
Method 3: Download PictureMate
If the previous method feels like work, why not let Picturemate, a Chrome extension, do the job instead? The only catch? The ads might be bothersome, but other than that, it’s easy to use.
If you use it, be mindful that this extension might help locate your target user’s hidden photos.
Try following the instructions below if you want to proceed with this approach.
Steps to use PictureMate:
Step 1: Install the PictureMate Chrome extension to your Google Chrome.
Step 2: Open Facebook and go to the target user’s profile.
Step 3: After a successful download, the PictureMate icon has to be visible in Google Chrome’s upper right corner. Tap on it.
PictureMate will find the numeric ID and do the graph search for you.
We’re assuming that, for whatever reason, you’re searching for additional ways. If you haven’t tried the previous methods or if they didn’t work properly, see if you can find their other social media accounts.
Do you both have accounts on any other social media platforms, such as Twitter or Instagram? If so, feel free to search these sites for their posts.
Many people like sharing the same pictures on many social media sites. Therefore, even if they have hidden it on Facebook, it can still be visible on Twitter, Instagram, or other social networking sites where they are active.
If you’re not connected on any other social media platform, try searching for them at least. People love to be consistent with their names across social media platforms. So, try looking for their real names and see if you can find them.
If everything else fails, seek assistance from third-party applications such as Social Catfish. You might be able to see this person’s socials.
In the End
Facebook users, take note: it’s not as hard as it seems to locate someone’s hidden photos. We can make it work if you put in a little effort and use our strategies.
But we will still emphasize that you should only search for someone’s hidden Facebook pictures when doing so is morally justified. If the other user discovers that you are doing this and becomes uncomfortable, then it’s not worth it.
