Research from the Washington Post-Schar School found that in 2021, 72% of participants said they either didn’t trust Facebook much or at all. Some users have sought to keep themselves private on the platform, resulting in them changing their privacy settings.  

 

Sometimes, you might want to see who has shared your Facebook post, but you might be worried that privacy settings will hide some users. I’ll show you how to see who shared your post on Facebook in this article.

How to know who shared your post on Facebook?

You can find out who shared your post on Facebook in numerous ways:

  • Examine your Facebook notifications: The easiest way to see if someone has shared your post on Facebook is via your notifications. You’ll receive an alert whenever a friend shares your content
  • Check the user’s Facebook feed: If you’re looking to see if an individual person shared your Facebook post, you can check their profile. Anything they’ve shared with their friends will appear here
  • Look at your own Facebook profile: Facebook posts show you the number of likes and comments they receive, and you can also view how many people shared it. Clicking on the [Number] Shares will allow you to check who shared your post on Facebook.

Now let’s look at how to view who shared your post on Facebook in more detail:  

Check Facebook notifications

If you want to know who shared your post on Facebook, start by checking your notifications:

  1. Go to the bell icon.
  2. Hit See all to view all of your notifications. Note that you might not see that someone has shared your post if they’ve increased their account’s privacy.
Check your notification and get to know who shared your Facebook post. To find Notifications, click the bell icon on the top right.
Step 1. Click the bell icon
To check all Facebook Notifications, click See all.
Step 2. Click See all

Look at your Facebook timeline

You can also check who shared your Facebook post by going to your timeline and finding the content. Here's how:

  1. Click on your profile picture.
  2. Go to the post you want to view and select the number of shares.
  3. In the next window, you’ll see a list of the people who have shared the post.
