Every time you share a post on Facebook, you wonder if anyone would like it enough to share it further. Being able to see who has shared your posts can boost your engagement and provide insight into what content resonates with your audience.
If you’ve ever shared a post on Facebook and wondered who shared it, you’re not alone. There are actually two ways to see who shared your Facebook post. The first is to look at the post itself. If someone has shared your post, their name will appear in the list of people who have liked or commented on the post. Additionally, you may see a button that says “Shared by [person’s name].” To find out who else has shared your post, click on that button.
Many social media platforms such as Twitter, provide you with detailed insights about your posts’ engagements. However, Facebook provides limited insights. The social media giant provides data in the form of graphs and raw numbers. It does not tell you who shared your posts. It only shows the total number of shares and the number of people your post reached. Moreover, you can only see who reacted to your posts, liked them, or commented on them. The insights provided by Facebook are helpful but do not provide a complete picture of who is engaging with your posts.
Analyze News Feed Information for Shares
To view who shared your post on Facebook, first analyze your News Feed information for shares:
1. Check Your Notifications
Open Facebook and go to the Notifications tab. Click on the “See All” button to view all notifications, including those related to shares.
2. Review Post Reactions
Under each post, you’ll see the number of likes, comments, and shares it has received. Click on the “x shares” button to see who shared your post.
3. Use the Search Bar
Type “shared my post” into the Facebook search bar. This will display a list of all posts that have been shared by your friends.
4. View Page Insights (For Business Pages)
If you have a Facebook Business Page, you can access post insights to see who shared your post. Go to the page, click on “Insights,” then select “Posts” and click on the specific post.
5. Use Facebook Graph Search (Deprecated)
Facebook Graph Search allowed users to search for specific information, including posts shared by their friends. However, this feature has been deprecated.
6. Third-Party Tools
There are third-party tools available that can help you track shares, such as Hootsuite and Buffer.
7. Contact Facebook Support
If you’re unable to find the information you need, you can contact Facebook Support for assistance.
8. Understand Share Restrictions
Note that not all posts can be shared. If a post contains sensitive information or has been marked as private, it may not be shared by others.
