How to check if someone else is using your Facebook account

Facebook is one of the most personal and important social media accounts that you can ever have today. Unlike accounts on other platforms, this one probably has your contacts as it lets you get in touch with your friends, colleagues, classmates, etc.

Unauthorized access to your Facebook account is bad news as it contains your personal messages and sensitive data. In some cases, someone could even use your name to trick other people.

To make sure that only you have access to your account, we’ll show you how to check who and what devices your Facebook account is logged in to. Let’s start.

How to find out if there’s unauthorized access to your Facebook account

There are two main ways you can check if someone has access to your Facebook account: through a web browser on your computer or via the Android or iOS app on your mobile device. Let’s check each of them below.

Via web browser

Step 1: Log in to your Facebook account. On the top right, tap your Profile icon and click Settings & Privacy.

Step 2: Click Settings.

Step 3: Under Your Profile Information, hit “Access Profile Information.”

Step 4: Click Security and Login Information.

Step 5: Tap on “Where You’re Logged In.”

Step 6: Here you’ll see all the times you’ve logged in to your Facebook account together with the IP address, browser, and device used. If you see an entry that you don’t recognize, you can click the three-dotted icon next to it and then tap Logout.
