Facebook profile watcher apps cool and enticing at first, but the stories that follows are not. Go to any of the pages against profile watcher apps on Facebook and you’ll know why.
Almost all or most of us wants to know, at one time or the other, who checks our profile. It’s a human nature! Ain’t it? Knowing things like that may let you know who likes you, checks on you always, or stalks you..let your imagination run.. 
But hey, burst your hope balloon and please keep in mind that tracking someone’s surfing habits on Facebook is against their terms and conditions. It is stated in their developers manual that no application or game is allowed to insert any coding that pulls any sort of information beyond profile content that could be required for the app/game to work.
Many applications comes out every now and then telling you that the app will tell you who recently viewed your profile.
Astonishing thing is thousands of Facebook users blindly installs the app just to learn that the app doesn’t work or is nothing but a scam or checks out the app even if they know that such scams exists but with a hope that this new app may work fine. These users also drag their friends into using it too, because most of these apps needs you to invite not one by all of your friends before the app can start to work. The app extracts all the information needed for their dirty works, whether it’s spamming, making money through ads or hacking into your account.
Some apps will ask you to enter your account information too. For example, an app called My Profile Statistic loads the following page upon installing the app.
Though the name of the app is My Profile Statistic, the fan page is named as Facebook Statistic. Isn’t something fishy here already? A topic from the Facebook Statistic fan page just to support the image above as the name of the app doesn’t show..
There are many developers looking to cash in on this silent desire of humans on Facebook – “Who views/viewed my Facebook.”
Do you really want to compromise your account information and all that of your friends and put yourself and others at risk just for the sake of knowing who viewed your profile? Think over it.
