View Private Facebook Photos [Part Three]
April 17th, 2009 | Written by Andrew | 119,565 views | Published in Codes | 72 Comments
Update 12/14/09:
New Codes that work, one for Facebook videos @ http://laatedaa.com/forums/index.php/topic,1018.0.html
and the Facebook picture code @ http://laatedaa.com/forums/index.php/topic,1016.0.html
Update 7/22/09: New code for Facebook has been released! More info about it here http://www.laatedaa.com/2009/07/22/view-comments-and-pictures-on-public-profiles-in-facebook/
Update (7/16/09): Reports on the forums and comments show that Facebook patched the loophole that was open that this application utilized. So now, it’s sadly, for some, not working. Be on the lookout for something new coming up by bookmarking this site!
There is a Facebook app that allows a person to gain access to the public albums that are in private profiles. I have tested this as well as a few of some of the [laatedaa?] testers and they have all said that it worked only for public albums in private profiles, and not private albums in private profiles.
Install Go to the Facebook APP here: (click read more)
http://apps.facebook.com/josh_owns/
To make the pictures larger, right click the thumbnail, hit “Copy Image Location”, paste it into the address bar and change the “t” to an “n”
Example: http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2194/70/60/106617228/t106670228_30218290_780.jpg

Hope you guys utilize this before Facebook stops this app!
For those wanting proof that it works, view the comments of these posts, here, and here.

I tried it. It works. However, it only shows their public albums and none of the albums where they’re tagged by friends or their profile pictures album.
Nevertheless, thanks! Worked like a charm.

Are you sure this stuff doesn’t get recorded or anything? I mean, it is a Facebook application. They know people are using it.

I’m quite sure. It’s not like the application developers are going to tell the user who you searched. The only reason why you guys can see their photos is because their albums are public, meaning anyone can see it (if you know the right URL), which this program does for you. It doesn’t use a “code” or anything so it will never get patched unless Facebook themselves choose to stop it.

[...] Because the application worked so well amongst the users who tested it out, a new method of viewing Facebook photos in private profiles is posted here: http://www.laatedaa.com/2009/04/17/view-private-facebook-photos-part-3/ [...]

I just took a look at my profile and the Photo Stalker app does show up in your profile under recent activity. It says ” ____ is browsing photos using Photo Stalker. So even though people won’t know that what profiles you were looking at, they will know you used the application.

The good thing is you can hit remove next to the recent activity to delete that field.

dude must say is an awesome code andrew once again thx for the code. the only sad part i didn’t and can’t see the main person i want to see pics of so so sad. becuase is on a superduper private profile i guess. once i put the main target name or id it says this.
This user has their photos set to private or they only have 1 photo. You can only view pictures where is set to public. Try another user, most people have their photos set to public
and this person has lots of albums to, but since i couldn’t see this person profile i dig others.
so thx andrew.

Too bad the person whose picts I wanna see put them on private albums, but gotta enjoy the app before FB stops it (somehow i got the feeling its not too ethical though, oh well like I care 
)

I was browsing through some pics without any problems, when this notice came up:
There are still a few kinks Facebook and the makers of Photo Stalker are trying to iron out. We appreciate your patience as we try to fix these issues. Your problem has been logged – if it persists, please come back in a few days. Thanks!
Now the app doesn’t appear to be working properly.
Hope it’s just a glitch and that they didn’t patch it!!

This works sometimes but I found this website Facebook Private Profile Viewer***Admin Edit*** Never enter in any information, this whole website is a scam to make money. [laatedaa?] never advise users on sites that make you enter in any email address or click throughs.

I was wondering if someone could help me. It isn’t about this application, though. So I’ve been trying to find private photos by going to tagged pics of the person’s friends with http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?subj= and been doing the loooong way of fuskering through them. It’s all been fine with me, since it’s always a treat to find them but facebook recently changed their picture url and I can’t seem to figure it out. Does anyone know and can help me?
Reply

Fusker is not longer really possible I’m afraid 7 digit random number means up to 10 million possible combinations per photograph. So unless your extremely patient theres not much chance of you finding anything. That page is rather frustrating though, shows you album name a sample pic and how many photos there are. So close.
Reply

Damn, ok thanks. I’ve become fairly good at fuskering before, it probably took me like 20 mins for one full album.

but i’ve found a problem
if the person u wanna view doesnt put his/her (mostly her lol) into albums, it wont show those photos
some ppl are just lazy… lol
hope there’s a solution for that

i notice since i’ve been useing this app for a while all the albums that i check stay the same. and yet the main profile picture changes that means they add new albums. but this app still shows the same once i seen since this app was put up. it never changes same albums all the time.

Question…..I made a photo comment on a profile picture that I assume is now set to private. Is there anyway of telling if my comment has been deleted or the p[hot still exists?

to rachel nope, there’s none for now this is all we got. i’ve been asking for the same thing but there’s other ways you can go around. but for sure nope. once the person has it private is private. believe me there’s one person i’ve been dying to get but i can’t. but is a cool code tho

Wow thx very much Andrew, this app works very good
I like this app
The latest that I know in FB we can download each album by clicking Download Album
Thank’s for this feature, I don’t need save photos one by one.
But there is 1 big problem, why we only allowed to download 5 album each day?
Can you make it unlimited?
Thank you very much Andrew.

I can’t find the link, but it was discussed on a Facebook developers forum. Facebook has disabled developer’s apps from accessing the function which returns picture album data, thus effectively breaking any application that depends on that ability.
The developers are not pleased.

this app only works for people who don’t have there photos set to private. If there photos are set to private or even the profile you won’t be able to see there pics…I think facebook finally figure it out.
