Facebook holds some of your most personal info – but strangers or even pals might by spying on you. You should regularly check to see where you’re logged in, to make sure that you’re not being watched.

There are several ways someone could gain access to your account. You may have logged in at a friend’s house, or on a family computer.

Alternatively, you may have accessed Facebook in a public place, like a library or on a hotel PC and someone may simply have hacked your account, illicitly gaining access to your password.

Once someone is in your account, they could see private photos and even read your personal messages.

Fortunately, Facebook lets you see where you’re logged in, giving you device and location details for each session.

You can see the type of browser and even the date and time for when your account has been accessed.

Importantly, you can end any active Facebook sessions that you think are suspicious. This will lock any snoopers out – although it’s worth changing your password too, if you think you’ve been compromised.
