What does it mean when you can't see friendship on Facebook?

Facebook now has a huge number of people registered all over the world. And each of these people has at least one friend on their Facebook friends list. Many people like to keep track of different events and celebrate them. The same goes for friendship history or anniversaries between people. Now the question arises. Is it possible to monitor the friendship history between you and your friend? Of course, you can do it.

So, here is how to see the friendship history between two users on Facebook.

How to see friendship between any two people on Facebook

As much as some Facebook users might want to view the history of two other people’s friendship, it is unfortunately impossible. Facebook thinks that having a secret URL to view the entire Facebook history of any two people online would be a little creepy. That’s why this kind of thing is forbidden.

Today, a special URL for seeing a user’s friendship history still exists (moreover, it is used in the process), but you are limited to viewing history between yourself and your Facebook friends. Facebook friendship pages, which display the history of your interaction with a friend, also allow you to see other people’s friendships. Information on the pages can include pictures of both people, their mutual friends and likes, and even comments they exchange on the Timeline. You can only see what you are normally allowed to see according to your friends’ Timeline privacy settings.

How to see friendship history on Facebook

Looking at your relationship history, you’ll see a list of things you both have in common, pictures of you both, and messages in which you’re both tagged. So, if you want to see a friendship history between you and your friend, you have to follow these steps:

First of all, go to the Facebook official website.
Sign in to your account, if necessary, go to your profile and make a note of your username. You will find it in the URL.
After that, navigate to your friend’s profile and repeat the process.
Enter “www.facebook.com/friendship/[username 1]/[username 2]/” in your browser’s address bar, replacing the usernames as appropriate.
Finally, press “Enter”.

What about privacy risks

Some privacy risks are still present. Almost all users now admit that Facebook collects their data and makes an obscene profit from selling it. Nevertheless, people continue to sign up for this social network because there is essentially no alternative.

Other common Facebook privacy risks include insecure third-party apps, improper privacy settings, Facebook Marketplace scams, predators, and even social media addiction itself. Only you can decide what place this Facebook friendship history tool occupies on the list of threats, but it’s still an alarming item to add to this ever-growing list.

The friendship pages on Facebook that show your interaction history with a friend also enable you to see other people's friendships. The information on the pages may include photos in which both people are tagged, their mutual friends and likes, and even Timeline comments exchanged between the two. You can only see things you're normally allowed to see based on your friends' Timeline privacy settings.

Step 1

Step 2

Navigate to the Timeline of one of the friends.

Step 3

Copy the friend's Facebook ID from the URL in the address bar. The ID is the string of characters -- usually a name --that appears after "facebook.com". Ignore the question mark and anything after it. For example, if the URL is www.facebook.com/john.smith?fref=pb, the friend's user ID is "john.smith".

Step 4

Navigate to the Timeline of the other person, and copy his Facebook ID.

Step 5

Open a new tab in your browser, and type or paste the following into the address bar:

www.facebook.com/FirstID?and=SecondID

Step 6

Replace "FirstID" with the first ID, and replace "Second ID" with the other ID.

Step 7
