Facebook accepts users’ posts to be shared, allowing a better audience reach for the content. If you want to know who has shared your post, there are a couple of ways to do this. Whether it is for engaging with your audience or tracking your post’s performance, here is how to check it.
1. Check Your Notifications
The most suitable way to know who has shared your post is from a notification.
- Open Facebook app.
- Tap the Bell icon at the top.
- Look for a notification saying someone shared your post.
- Tap on it to view the person’s profile.
If the person has a private account or tight sharing settings, you may still be blind about their name.

You can see how often your post was shared, but not the names of those sharing it.
- Open Facebook app
- Go to your Profile (Timeline).
- Find the post in question.
- Find the share count next to likes and comments.
Should the post be public, you may or may not see the person’s name by clicking on the share count.
Yes, Facebook sends a notification when someone shares your post publicly. Nonetheless, if it’s shared in a private group or through direct message, you may not be aware of it.
- Their account is private or set to “Friends Only.”
- They have restricted access settings.
- The share was made within a private group or limited audience.
Using the method mentioned, you can learn the name of your post’s sharer and connect with your followers. Tell us in the comments if this guide can help.
