Eager to see who has shared your post on Facebook but remain private? Staying anonymous is sometimes crucial in social networks, and many people use a VPN to do that. MacKeeper’s VPN Private Connect can help you browse the web—without advertisers and internet service providers (ISPs) knowing what you’re doing.
With over three billion monthly active users, Facebook remained the world's most popular social media site in the Q1 of 2025. But despite its strong user base, many people have become skeptical of the company’s privacy practices.
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.
