Is it possible to know who visits your social networks?

One of the biggest mysteries for social media users is knowing who has visited their profile. Although platforms like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter do not offer this functionality natively, applications and methods have emerged that promise to satisfy this curiosity.

Below, we show you everything you need to know about these tools, how they work, and the precautions you should take.

Can you really know who visits your social networks?

Most social networks, for privacy reasons, do not allow you to track who visits your profile. However, there are third-party applications that promise to provide this information by analyzing interactions, visits, and other activity patterns.

While these apps can be useful for obtaining estimates, their accuracy and reliability vary.
