In fact, in the event that you use them to spy on other people, you would incur a serious violation of privacy, an action that could be prosecuted criminally. Then don't tell me I didn't warn you!

One of the best parental control apps is Qustodio, which is available for Android and iOS and which offers an ad hoc feature for advanced monitoring of Facebook activity.

Create a second Facebook profile

How to see private Facebook photos

Have you come to this guide with the aim of viewing the photos published on Facebook by some of your friends and which, due to the privacy settings chosen by the latter, are no longer visible to you? If the photos in question are still public (ie they do not have the "Only me" option as their privacy setting) and have simply been hidden from your view (as I explained to you in this other guide), you can try to solve the problem creating a second Facebook profile.

Before doing such a thing, however, know that Facebook prohibits the creation of multiple accounts, especially if they are fake profiles. If you decide to proceed, therefore, you will violate the terms of use of the service, which could lead to the closure of the account itself. Understood?

How do you create a secondary account on Facebook? Just log out of your main account and follow the wizard to create a new profile using information that cannot be traced back to your person. If you have any problems or doubts about how to do this, reading my guide on how to create a Facebook account will be useful to clarify your ideas on what to do.

Once you have actually created the second Facebook profile, then, you will have to send a friend request to the person of your interest and hope that this will be positively received. To send a friend request, just go to the profile of the person in question and press the button add to friends. If the person actually accepts the request, you may be able to see some photos that are invisible with your “main” account (depending on the privacy settings selected by the user).
