View Private User’s Album
So you’d like to view someone’s photo album. You search for them, click on their name, only to find out that their profile is private. For one reason or another adding them as a friend is either not an option or will take to long. Well, you’d think you’re out of luck. Wrong.
Luckily for you there is a simple trick to get around this and view up to 40 pictures of them not including their profile picture.
First, you need to search for the person you want to see’s pictures on facebook. You can’t click on their name, so click on view friends. It should take you to the following link: http://www.facebook.com/friends/?id=[id-number]
Copy the [id-number] (It should be the series of numbers shown in the picture). This is the personal id for that person. It doesn’t change and is used for all of their profile pages.
Next you type in the following link in the address bar http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=12345678&op=1&view=all&subj=[id-number]&id=[id-number] replacing [id-number] with their actual id number. (shown in the picture below)
Note: Apparently facebook has fixed this bug. Unfortunately, it no longer works to view private facebook albums. Please take a look at the other articles on this site for more facebook hacks and tips.
Copy this code to post a link to this article on your website:
Great find! I suppose this won ‘t work on profiles that have the “view friends” option disabled?
Part of the hack is that you have access to their view friends. Otherwise it wont work.
I tried this out and was told that I was unable to view the page because I didn’t have permission… odd, no?
If the private user doesn’t allow you to view his friends on facebook then you can’t view the profile or album.
No, I tried it on someone that does let you view their friends.
Maybe, facebook has fixed the view private facebook profiles hack. Have you tried any of the other hacks on this site, such as View Private Users Profile Picture?
Yeah, I tried that one, it works fine unless someone’s albums are set to private like you’ve said.
I’m glad you liked it. I’m publishing a very detailed facebook security guide later on today, so make sure you check it out. Also, feel free to add a link from your site to any article on here that you like.
Awesome. Is it possible to get an email notification from this site whenever it’s updated?
It doesn’t work.
It will be. I’m setting up a mailing list. It should be up in a couple days.
Why did you remove my post?Im just telling you that this code does not work.
Your post was not removed. Are you sure you submitted it properly? I have been getting reports that this no longer works. I will make a not about it in the article.
Ok, I haven’t set the mailing list up yet. But it should be up very soon. We update daily, so tomorrow at around 10 pm eastern time we should have a new update. Make sure you link to this site and tell your friends. I’ll tell you as soon as I get the mailing list up.
The beta mailing list is now set up. It is subject to change if there are any problems with it. We’re using feedburner, because they have good stat tracking, but I may end up setting up my own. Also, we’ve always had an RSS feed if you want add it to your viewer and get article updates. Mailing list is here and RSS feed is hereRSS Feed.
what if the person does not have “add friend” or “view profile” or “send a message” but just a picture?
there’s no way i can get the code?
I blocked an ex girlfriend from my friends list but I want to be able to see her photos and profile how do I do this without her noticeing..?
it doesnt work. i need this please help
Hey guys try the “photo stalker” app on facebook. If the album is not set to private you can see pics of people you’re not friend with. If you can’t find an album for your user of choice, then just try to look for albums of some of the person’s friends, maybe you will find some pics of that person over there (e.g. birthday party pics…!) Good luck
