By Leave a Comment

Have you forgot the email address that you used to create your Facebook account?

If so, you won’t be able to sign in to Facebook unless your mobile number is not linked with it.

If you’ve linked your phone number with Facebook, it can be used to sign in to your account.

However, if you didn’t add your phone number, you are left without a choice other than to use your email.

If you have forgot it, there are a few methods that can be used to find it.

In this post, I will tell you how to see your Facebook email address, how to find out what email you used for Facebook on your phone, and more.

How to see your Facebook email address

To see your Facebook email address, you can go to your contact information (if you’re signed in to Facebook) or see your saved passwords in your phone’s settings.

On the other hand, if you’re not logged in to Facebook, your phone number can be used for log in process if you’ve linked it in the past.

If you’re already signed into Facebook, you can see your email by visiting your contact information via your settings.

The email address that you’ve used to create your Facebook account will be available and shown in the contact information setting.

If you’re not signed in to Facebook and you forgot your email address, you can use the mobile number to log in instead.

However, if you didn’t add your phone number, the only ways that you can use is to view your saved passwords in your phone’s settings.

For iOS devices, you can see your saved passwords by navigating to your phone’s settings and tapping on “Passwords”.

For Android users, you can see your saved passwords by visiting your phone’s settings > Google > Manage your Google Account > Security > Password manager.

You can follow the below steps in this guide on how you can find your Facebook password if you’re already logged in.

Step 1. Go to your settings

First of all, log in to Facebook if you are not yet.

If you do not remember your email address, you can use your mobile number to log in (if you’ve linked it).

After opening Facebook, tap on the “Menu” icon on the bottom bar.

The menu will be opened by tapping on the “Menu” icon.

The menu will show you your Facebook profile and page(s).

Under your Facebook profile and page(s), there are several options that you can select such as “Groups”, “Friends”, and more.

Scroll down the menu until you locate the option that shows “Settings & Privacy”.

To expand it, you need to tap on “Settings & Privacy”.

Then, to visit your Facebook settings, tap on “Settings”.

If you’re on a desktop version of Facebook, click on the dropdown arrow on the top bar, then click on “Settings & Privacy”.

Step 2. Tap on “Name and contact information”

After tapping on “Settings”, it will take you to the settings page.

On the settings page, there are multiple headers such as “Account”, “Audience and visibility”, “Permissions”, and more.

Under the “Account” header, an option is available that says “Name and contact information”.

This option will help you to manage your contact information such as your email address, phone number, and identity.

To manage it, you need to tap on “Name and contact information”.

If you’re using FB on a desktop, you need to click on “Settings”.

Step 3. Tap on “Contact info”

After tapping on “Name and contact information”, it will take you to the name and contact information page.

On the page, there are three options including your name, contact info, and identity confirmation.

The “Name” option enables you to view and change your name on Facebook.

After that, the “Contact info” option helps you to manage your phone number and email addresses on FB.

In the end, the “Identity confirmation” feature is to confirm your identity with Facebook in order to run ads.

Since you want to find your Facebook email address, you need to tap on “Contact info”.

If you’re on the desktop version of Facebook, you’ll be able to view your email address on “General Account Settings”.

Step 4. See your Facebook email address

After tapping on “Contact info”, it will show you your phone number if you’ve linked it with Facebook.

Your email address will also be visible under your phone number.

The email address that is available is the email address that you’ve used to create your FB account.

Therefore, it can be used to log in to Facebook.

If you are looking for a way to change who can see your email address, it can be done by tapping on your email and changing the “Who can see this email address?” setting.

I hope that you have learned how to see your email address on Facebook!

How do I find out what email I used for Facebook on my phone?

To find out what email you used for Facebook on your phone, the ideal step is to go to the “Contact info” page.

After reaching the “Contact info” page, you’ll be able to see the email address that you’ve used to create your Facebook account beside the mail icon.

To begin with, log in to your Facebook account from your phone number first.

After that, tap on the menu > Settings & Privacy > Settings > Name and contact information > Contact info.

How do I get into my Facebook account if I forgot my email and password?

To get into your Facebook account if you forgot your email and password, you can try to locate them via your saved passwords.

On both iOS and Android devices, you can see your saved passwords by navigating to your phone’s settings.

For iOS devices, you can see them by visiting your phone’s settings and tapping on “Passwords”.

For Android devices, your email and saved passwords can be seen by going to your phone’s settings > Google > Manage your Google Account > Security > Password manager.

Final Words

Forgetting the email that you’ve used to make your Facebook account is one of the worst things that can happen to anyone

Especially if you have not linked your phone number with your Facebook account.

As a result, you won’t be able to reset your password.

Luckily, if you’re already logged into Facebook, you can locate your password by going to the “Contact info” page on the Facebook mobile app.

Have you been not using Facebook for a while? If yes, you might have forgotten your password.

However, you might be still signed into the FB app.

In this case, there are a couple of things that need to be done.

First of all, you can change your Facebook password by selecting the “Forgot password?” link from the login page of Facebook.

On the other hand, you need to check whether your Facebook password is saved on your device or not.

If luckily your Facebook password is saved on your device, there is no need to reset your password.

However, many users do not know about it how to see their Facebook password.

In addition, some people do not save passwords on their device, so they might not save the Facebook login details.

Regardless, in this post, I will tell you how to see your Facebook password on both iPhone and Android devices whether you’re logged in or not.

How to see your Facebook password

To see your Facebook password, the first thing you need to do is to check your saved passwords on your device.

Your saved passwords can be checked on both iPhone and Android devices.

If you’re an iPhone user, you can see your saved passwords by going to “Passwords” in your phone’s settings.

After reaching the “Passwords” screen, you’ll be able to see all of your saved passwords of the apps such as Facebook.

For Android users, you can see your saved passwords by going to the “Password Manager” using your Google account.

The “Password Manager” will have a list of all of your saved passwords, and your Facebook password might be available there.

If you are unable to find it, then you might have disabled the saving of passwords.

In this case, you are left with no choice but to reset your Facebook password.

How to see your Facebook password on iPhone

To see your Facebook password on an iPhone, the first step is to go to your phone’s settings.

After that, go to “Passwords” and you’ll be able to see your Facebook password there.

On an iPhone, you can ask Siri to find your saved passwords or find them in your settings.

If you’re using Siri, you need to ask like that, “Hey Siri, what is my Facebook password?”.

After that, you’ll be asked to use Touch ID to view it.

If you did not activate Siri on your iPhone, you can go to your saved passwords manually instead.

You can go to it manually by going to your settings > passwords > facebook.com.

Here are the steps in this guide on how you can do this.

Step 1. Go to your settings

Visit your iPhone Settings.

The first thing you need to do is to go to your phone’s settings.

It can be done by searching for “Settings” or finding it manually.

To find the settings of your phone, swipe down from the top of your screen and search for “Settings”.

After that, tap on the Settings icon to visit your settings.

On the other hand, you can find the settings by searching for its icon on your home screen.

After locating your settings, tap on it to visit it.

Step 2. Tap on “Passwords”

Scroll down & tap on “Passwords”.

After reaching your phone’s settings, you’ll see multiple options such as “Airplane Mode”, “Wi-Fi”, “Bluetooth”, and so on.

The option that you should be looking for is “Passwords” as you’ll be able to see your saved passwords there.

Scroll down until you locate the option that shows “Passwords”.

The “Passwords” option is available under the “Wallet & Apple Pay” option.

To view your saved passwords on your device, you need to tap on “Passwords”.

Move on to the next step to learn how to find your Facebook login details.

Step 3. Tap on “facebook.com”

Tap on “facebook.com” and use Touch ID to see your Facebook login details such as username and password.

After tapping on “Passwords”, you need to provide/enter your passcode or use Touch ID to view them.

If you’ve enabled Touch ID, you need to use your thumb to unlock it.

Alternatively, if you’re going with your passcode, enter your six-digit passcode.

After unlocking your passwords, a list of all of your saved passwords will be shown.

For instance, if you’ve saved your Snapchat password, you’ll be able to see it from the “snapchat.com” option.

The option that you should be finding is the “facebook.com” option.

You can locate it by scrolling down to the “F” alphabet or searching for “Facebook” using the search bar.

After finding the “facebook.com” option, tap on it to view.

After tapping on it, you’ll be able to view your Facebook username and password on the “Username” and “Password” fields.

Tap on the “Password” field and select “Copy” to copy the password.

I hope that you have learned how to change your Facebook password on an iPhone!

How to see your Facebook password on Android

To see your Facebook password on Android, you need to go to your Google Account from your phone’s settings.

After reaching your Google Account, you need to tap on “Manage your Google Account” next to “Password Manager”.

In the Password Manager, you can see your saved passwords, also passwords of Facebook.

On Android, most of your passwords will be found on the Password Manager.

Therefore, if you are looking for your Facebook password, the best way is to navigate to your Password Manager via your Google Account.

I hope that you have learned how to change your Facebook password on Android!

Final Words

If you’re logged in to Facebook, the password will not be visible directly on the app.

The reason behind it is that Facebook does not allow it as it compromises your security.

If there was a feature that enables you to see your Facebook password while you’re logged in, then anyone will be able to access or view your Facebook password.

As a result, they will be able to change it through your settings and your Facebook account will be compromised.

Therefore, if you want to view your FB password, you should follow the steps mentioned in this guide.

What Does “Following” Mean on Facebook?

What Does “Other Viewers” Mean on Facebook Story?

By Leave a Comment

Are you facing a “1 other person viewed this story” on Facebook story?

The full sentence will be: “1 other person viewed this story. As it was shared to Public, a person you aren’t friends with saw it”.

In 2017, Facebook has released its stories that allow the users to upload a video or a photo that can remain in stories for 24 hours and their friends can see it.

It is same as Snapchat stories (the original publisher of stories).

Social media apps like Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and so on has come to increase the attention of its users.

With the story feature, users can share their events of life with their dear ones and family.

Additionally, users can also see who viewed their Stories by looking at their list of the viewers.

However, it also has some confusing terms in the viewer’s list including “Other Viewers” on Facebook Stories.

If you have also seen that term (e.g. A other person viewed this story), you might want to know what it means.

After all, you want to know who seen your stories right?

In this post, I will tell you what “Other Viewers” mean on Facebook stories, how to see them, and more.

What Does “Other Viewers” Mean on Facebook story?

“Other Viewers” are the people on FB who have viewed your story that are not in your friends list on Facebook.

For instance, if it says “4 other people viewed this story”, it shows that 4 people that you’re not friends with have seen your story.

“Other viewers” will only be visible if you’ve changed your story’s privacy setting on Facebook.

By default, the privacy setting of your story will be set to “Friends” only.

“Friends” only means that only your friends on FB can view your story.

If you changed it to “Public”, anyone on Facebook or Messenger will be able to view your story.

Having said that, if someone who is not in your friend’s list on Facebook sees your story, they will be under “Other Viewers”.

If you happened to change your story’s privacy setting to “Public”, people who are not your friends on Facebook will be able to view your stories.

These users are categorized under “Other Viewers” on FB, and you cannot see their profiles.

The irony is that the users under “Other Viewers” will be anonymous.

A privacy setting called “Custom” is also available that allows you to select who can view your story.

If you only want to display your story to a selected group of friends, you can use this option.

However, this setting will restrict the public to see your story, as a result, “Other Viewers” won’t show up.

How to see “Other Viewers” on Facebook

Facebook does not show the profiles of “Other Viewers”.

Unluckily, you cannot see “Other Viewers” on FB

According to Facebook, if the privacy of your story is set to “Public”, you’re only able to view the followers who viewed your story, but not their specific names.

If the privacy of your story is set to “Public”, everyone will be able to see your story.

People who’ve seen your story that are not friends with you on Facebook will be shown under “Other Viewers”.

However, their names will not be shown to you.

In short, the users under “Other Viewers” will be hidden from you and they remain anonymous.

This limitation is disliked by many users as they are unable to see who the “Other Viewers” are.

There’s even a petition filed by Wendy Williams that demands Facebook to display the “Other Viewers”.

You can also sign the petition if you support it.

How to get rid of “Other Viewers” on Facebook

Go to Facebook app > profile > add story > add a photo/video > privacy > friends.

To get rid of “Other Viewers” on Facebook, your best bet is to change your story privacy to “Friends” the next time you post a story.

The reason why “Other Viewers” appears on your Facebook story views is that you’ve set the story’s privacy setting to “Public”.

If you’ve changed your story’s privacy setting from “Friends” to “Public”, users on FB who are not in your friends list can view your story.

As a result, they will be categorized under “Other Viewers” for instance, 3 other persons viewed this story.

If you want to restrict strangers from viewing your stories, you need to make changes to your privacy settings.

Here are the steps in this guide on how you can get rid of “Other Viewers” on the Facebook app:

  1. Firstly, open your Facebook profile > Add Story.
  2. Add a photo/video.
  3. Tap on “Privacy” at the bottom left of your screen.
  4. Lastly, change your privacy setting to “Friends”.

Note: You only have to change this setting one time.

Once you have changed your privacy setting to “Friends”, stories that you post in the future will only be seen by your friends.

In short, people who are not friends with you won’t be able to see your stories.

Therefore, this will prevent “Other Viewers” from showing up and it will be hidden from your story views.

Does “Other Viewers” mean that I’m blocked?

If someone blocks you right after they viewed your story, it will hide their profile, and you’ll see “1 viewer” in your story views.

Yes, “Other Viewers” on your Facebook story views can mean that someone has blocked you.

However, it can hardly happen.

“Other viewers” are people who saw your story that is not on your friends list on Facebook.

If you’re blocked on Facebook, you will be restricted from seeing the person’s posts, stories, and you’ll be removed as a friend.

Neither can the person see your stories or posts on the platform.

However, if the user viewed your story and blocked you right after, you’ll get “1 viewer” on your story views.

You will not be able to view the person’s name.

If the user unblocks you, adds you as a friend on Facebook, and you accept it, their name will re-appear on your story views.

I have tested it with the help of 2 accounts, and it’s proven to be true.

Final Words

Knowing who viewed your stories is necessary due to privacy and safety reasons.

Unfortunately, if your privacy settings are set to “Public”, you won’t be able to see the people who saw your stories that you’re not friends on Facebook with.

Facebook is still not showing who the “Other Viewers” are, so you can only see your friends that saw your story.

Here are the main key points in the article:

  • If you set your story’s privacy setting to “Public”, everyone on Facebook and Messenger can view your story.
  • “Other Viewers” are people who are not on your friends’ list on Facebook.
  • You cannot see “Other Viewers” as Facebook is deliberately keeping them hidden.
  • In the event that anyone blocks you after watching your story, you’ll see “1 viewer” in your story views as their profile will remain anonymous.

All in all, it’s highly recommended that your privacy settings should be set to “Friends”.

Otherwise, strangers will be able to see your story and you will not be able to know them.

3 Steps to Appear Offline on Facebook Messenger

By Leave a Comment

You can see whether someone is offline or online on Facebook Messenger.

However, the activity status of the person should be enabled.

Same as WhatsApp, you can disable your activity status on Facebook Messenger

If the person’s activity status is disabled, they can always be offline.

In short, you won’t be able to tell whether the person is active or not.

If you want to appear offline on Facebook Messenger, you need to go through this guide to find out how.

How to appear offline on Facebook Messenger

To appear offline on Facebook Messenger, the first step is to tap on your profile picture.

Now, go to “Active Status” and turn off the “Show when you’re active” option.

After turning off the “Show when you’re active” feature, your active status will not be shown.

Before you turn off the “Show when you’re active” feature, your FB friends should be able to see a green dot on your profile picture.

After turning it off, the green dot will no longer be shown on your profile.

However, just remember that you won’t be able to see the activity status of your friends too.

If you want to view your friends’ activity status, the option “Show when you’re active” should be enabled.

Having said that, follow the below steps in this guide on how you can appear offline on Facebook messenger by turning off your active status.

#1: Tap on your profile picture

Go to Facebook Messenger and tap on your profile picture available on the top bar.

The first thing you need to do is to tap on your profile picture on the Messenger app.

To get started, open the Messenger app on your android device.

The Messenger can also be used on a desktop, but the user interface will be a little different.

We have used the mobile version of Messenger for the sake of this guide rather than the desktop version.

Therefore, it’s better to use the Messenger app instead of the desktop version when following this guide.

After opening Messenger, you’ll see your chats.

After that, tap on your profile picture available on the top bar.

If you’re using the desktop version of Messenger, tap on the three dots next to your profile picture instead.

A navigation menu will be opened with several options.

Move on to the next step to learn how to navigate to the active status setting.

#2: Tap on “Active Status”

Step 2 is to tap on the “Active Status” option.

The navigation menu will show multiple options such as “Dark mode”, “Switch account”, “Active Status”, and more.

“Dark mode” allows you to change the appearance of the app and you can enable the dark theme.

You can switch your FB accounts using “Switch account” option.

In the end, you can turn on or turn off your activity status using the “Active Status” feature.

To visit the active status settings, you need to tap on the “Active Status” option.

This feature will help you to appear offline on Facebook if you disable it.

If you’re using Messenger on a desktop, you can open a different navigation menu by tapping on the three dots.

On that navigation menu, you need to click on “Preferences” to go to your preferences.

After that, tap on “Turn Off Active Status” to visit the active status setting.

Move on to the next step to learn how to turn off your active status to appear offline on Messenger.

#3: Turn off the “Show when you’re active” option

Active Status > Show when you’re active > Switch off.

After tapping on the “Active Status” option, it will take you to the “Active Status” setting.

On the setting, you will come across “Show when you’re active” option.

The “Show when you’re active” feature is enabled by default.

If the option is enabled, your contacts and friends will be able to know when you are active.

Alternatively, if the option is disabled, your friends and contacts will not be able to know when you’re active.

Tap on the switch to turn off the “Show when you’re active” option.

After tapping on the switch, you will see a pop-up message confirming whether you want to turn off your Active Status or not.

To turn off your Active Status, you have to tap on “Turn off”.

Once your Active Status is turned off, you will appear offline to your contacts as well as friends on Facebook Messenger.

However, the ability to see your friends’ or contacts’ Active Status will also be lost too.

This setting is same as hiding your “Last Seen” status on WhatsApp.

I hope that you have learned how to appear offline on FB Messenger!

Can you appear offline on Facebook Messenger but still see messages?

Yes, you can appear offline on FB Messenger but still see messages.

Appearing offline on Messenger will hide your Active Status from your Facebook friends and contacts.

In short, they won’t be able to see that you’re online.

However, you can still view messages that people send you.

Additionally, you will still be able to view your existing chats on Facebook.

How do I hide myself on Facebook Messenger?

To hide yourself on Facebook messenger, the only way is to turn off your Active Status.

After turning off your Active Status, your contacts and friends will not be able to view that you’re online.

However, it will also restrict you to see whether they are online too.

Usually, whenever you’re online on Facebook, you see a green dot on your profile picture.

Now after turning off your Active Status, the green dot will not be displayed on your profile picture even if you’re using Facebook Messenger.

Final Words

Appearing offline on Facebook Messenger is an ideal method to mitigate stalkers.

It also stops someone from thinking that you’re deliberately ignoring their messages or them.

If you usually reply late to someone’s messages, appearing offline is an ideal option.

The only drawback of using this option is that you won’t be able to see your contacts’ and friends’ Active Status.
