Did You Know These Four Creepy Ways To Stalk People On Facebook?
June 15, 2016 | Technology
Got a new crush, a frenemy you love to hate, or even a job interview with someone you’d like to know more about?
We’ve all been there – but sometimes certain profiles can be annoyingly difficult to track down, or disappointingly dull when you do finally find it.
Put down the spoon and concentrate.
Here are four creepy tricks you might not yet know about…
1. For when you’ve forgotten their name, or there’s just too many John Smiths to trawl through
Only know the person’s first name? Or, even better, did drunk you save them in your phone as ‘(insert bar’s name) guy or girl’?
‘Why didn’t I get his full name?’
Well, never fear, there’s a way to track your new crush down WITHOUT spending endless hours searching through every ‘Tom’ or ‘Harry’ on Facebook.
If you have someone’s number, you can simply copy and paste it into the search bar and that elusive profile will magically appear.
Thought you knew it all? Think again…
This could also be good for stalking someone before a big job interview, or tracing down the mystical sender of a text from a number you don’t have saved.
But remember this works both ways, and is yet another reason NOT to give out your number to someone you’re not really into.
2. For when their profile’s annoyingly private
So you’ve successfully tracked down the profile, but sadly there’s not much to see.
The private profile… every stalker’s worst nightmare.
One profile picture and a scenic shot from their last holiday isn’t exactly going to keep your stalking needs at bay.
Want more pictures? Of course you do.
Typing ‘recent photos of’ before the person’s name should give you A LOT more to play with.
3. Want to know which girls he’s been flirting with online?
Be careful, this one has the potential to make you angry.
‘I never knew he liked her like that’.
Has he liked every profile picture of that girl you hate? Maybe give him a miss.
Anything weird on there? Run for the hills.
4. Want to know what someone’s into?
Simply type ‘pages liked by (his or her name)’ and voila! All the person’s musical, film and personal interests are instantly unlocked.
This is also a good way to find out which night clubs they tend to go to, and any clubs/exercise groups they might be part of.
It may also be worth typing in ‘pages liked by me’ for good measure, just to check there’s nothing weird still on there from your teenage emo days – and to stop annoying pages clogging up your news feed.
