How to see Facebook photos without friends

After sending a friend request to some acquaintances on Facebook, you waited patiently for them to accept it, so that you can see their content on the social network, including photos. Since, however, at least for the moment, your requests have not been accepted by everyone, you are looking for a way to still see the photos that the people of your interest have posted on Facebook.

In the next paragraphs, if you want, I can explain it to you how to see Facebook photos without friendship, using some apps for parental control (in case you want to check your children's social activity) or by creating a second Facebook account, useful for seeing the photos that have been hidden from your “main” account.

So, can we know that you are still standing there? Courage: make yourself comfortable, take all the time you need to concentrate on reading the next paragraphs and, more importantly, try to implement the "tips" that I will give you. There is nothing left for me to do, except wish you good reading and wish you a big good luck for everything!

Preliminary information

Before explaining to you how to see Facebook photos without friendship, it is my duty to provide you with some preliminary information that will help you to better understand the content of the next paragraphs.

First of all, I want to clarify that, to see the photos published by other users registered on Facebook without being their friends on the social network, it is necessary to take into account the privacy settings that they have decided to use in relation to the shots shared on the platform.

In fact, if a user has decided to show their photos only to those who are in their friends list, selecting "Friends“, You will not be able to view them until you become friends with the user in question. And if the user has decided to make some photos private, using the privacy setting "Only me“, No one, not even his friends on Facebook, will be able to see the content in question (unless you decide to control a person's activities with some apps, such as those for parental control).

What you can do, therefore, is only to see the public photos, i.e. those marked with the privacy setting All. If you can't see these shots, perhaps because whoever posted them has decided to hide them, you can try to see by creating a second Facebook account.

Use parental control apps

You came to this guide with the aim of see Facebook photos without friendship and, in this case, the photos published by your children on the social network? If so, you may find it useful to use some app for parental control. But please, do not misuse them to spy on other people other than your children, otherwise this would constitute a criminal offense. I warned you, OK?

One of the best solutions suitable for this purpose is Qustodio, which integrates a function for advanced monitoring of Facebook activity. This function can be used free of charge for 3 days (together with all the other Premium functions): after this trial period, one of the subscription plans is required to continue using the service, starting from € 42,95.

After installing Qustodio on your Android or iOS device, press the button Create a Qustodio account / I'm new to Qustodio, provide all the information you are asked for in the text fields Your name, Email Address, Your password and presses the button Next / Next.

In the new screen that opens, tap on Baby device, specifies il device name (Eg. [child's name] iPhone), tap the button NEXT and complete the fields Name of the child, Birthday e Gender. Then click on the button NEXT and select l 'avatar you prefer to set.

Now, give Qustodio all the permissions it needs to work properly. Up Android, fai tap sul pulsating Activate now, presses on the voice Qustodio located at the bottom, move up ON the toggle of the switch that is placed next to the name of the application and answer OK to the notice that appears. Tap the button again Activate now and then press the button Attiva.

You use a device iOS? Well, then tap the button Grant permissions, presses the button twice in a row OK, fai tap sul pulsating Install iOS Profile in the new screen that opens and select the item Allow. On the screen Install profile, presses on the voice Install, enter the unlock code set on your device, tap the button Install and then select the items Authorize e end.

At this point, connected to the Qustodio web panel for families, fill in the fields Username e Password and click on Log in to log in. Once you have logged into your account, click on the tab Social activity and move the switch lever next to the wording to ON Advanced Facebook tracking. You will then be able to check the various actions made by the spied user simply by looking at the section Timeline.

To carry out advanced Facebook monitoring, however, keep in mind that the user you are monitoring must have logged in to the famous social network from a computer on which the Qustodio client, available for Windows and macOS, is installed and activated. . More info here.

Create a second Facebook account

As an alternative to the solution I told you about in the previous lines, you can think of create a second Facebook account and use it to ask the person whose profile photos you want to be friends with, without having to expose yourself too much. This solution can be particularly useful if you think that some of your Facebook friends have decided to hide some photos posted on the social network from you (if you remember, I explained how this can be done in this other guide).

Before creating a second account on Facebook, however, know that the platform prohibits the creation of multiple accounts, especially if they contain false information, which is not attributable to a "real" person. If you decide to create a fake account, therefore, you will inevitably run into violation of terms of use of the service and this could even lead to the closure of your account. Then don't tell me I didn't tell you!

The procedure that will allow you to create a new Facebook account is almost identical to the one you have already followed in the past to register on the social network. If you have any problems or doubts about the procedure in question, however, do not hesitate to consult the guide in which I show in detail how to create a Facebook account. I am convinced that thanks to it you will solve any difficulty regarding the creation of a secondary Facebook account.

After you have actually created a new Facebook profile, you can use it to try to see photos of other users that are hidden from your main account. To do this, all you have to do is send the friend request to the user of your interest and hope that he will accept it.

If you do not know, to send a friend request, all you have to do is go to the profile of the person of your interest and press the button add to friends. If the person in question accepts the request, you may be able to see some photos not visible with your “main” account (depending on the privacy settings chosen by the user).
