Another factor that can stop you is if the targeted user has their friends list hidden as well. If you don’t have any, you can try sending a friend request to one of their friends. Having just one mutual friend is enough for this method to work. That means that if you and the targeted person have a mutual friend, you’ll be able to see the target’s Facebook profile, even if it’s set to private. While doing so, they might choose to allow access to “friends of friends”. Facebook privacy settings have a loophole that you can exploit – when a user activates private mode, they might choose not to make it completely private but restrict the access from people outside of their friends circle. When the first two methods fail, the third thing a user can try to get into a private account on Facebook is social engineering. The person targeting your account may use information found on other accounts linked to yours (like TikTok or Instagram account), to make you believe they’re someone you’ve met before, like a long-lost school friend or a colleague from a previous workplace. This becomes more difficult if you don’t monitor your Facebook friend’s list closely, and have many friends there. How to beat it: A simple strategy to avoid letting a stranger into your private Facebook space is to never accept random friend requests from people you don’t know.
