Facebook Marketplace allows users to hide their contact information for more privacy and security. But if someone needs to reveal this information for their use, or just for the sake of knowing, then there are a few things that they can do. These ways work just fine on the phone as well as on the web. Therefore, we shall discuss both ahead in the guide. On that note, let us begin with it.
What is the hidden information on Facebook Marketplace?
The hidden information on Facebook Marketplace is generally the contact information of a person who has been actively posting stuff and has added his/her contact details. They are kept hidden from the eyes of the general public for the sake of the privacy of the person whose contact it is. But if someone needs to view it, they can do so by following a few simple steps.
Ways to see the hidden information on Facebook Marketplace
We will discuss these ways for both PCs and phones. Check out the section below –
Using mobile phone
If you use your Facebook account on a mobile phone, then these are the steps that you can follow –
- Go to the listing with the hidden information and then go to the ‘Marketplace’ in the menu that opens from the bottom right corner.
- Click on ‘Share’ on the listing and then copy the link through the option that appears for the same.
- Now open ‘Chrome’ on your mobile phone and log in to Facebook on the browser using your credentials.
- Once you are logged in, paste the link that had just been copied to your clipboard on the phone. Now go to the listing, where you see that the hidden information has revealed itself, allowing you to finally see what was hidden for so long.
Using a PC
If you are using a PC to view the hidden information on Facebook Marketplace, then these are the steps that you need to follow –
- Go to the marketplace listing in Chrome where there is the hidden information that you want to see. Now press F12 to open Chrome’s ‘Developer’s Tools’.
- Now right-click on the listing and choose ‘Inspect’.
- As the next step, click on the device’s toggle toolbar, which you can find in the top left corner of the screen.
- Now press F5 to reload and preview the page of the listing.
Now you will be able to see the hidden information on that listing and can finally be able to relieve yourself. The information will simply appear on the screen, and you won’t have to do anything more.
Since it is a matter of an individual’s safety and privacy, the platform takes all the necessary precautions that it can, including requesting people to abide by the rules and regulations formed by the platform for each other’s safety while surfing. Therefore, we’d say that although you have now seen the hidden information on the Facebook Marketplace, it is for the best that you don’t use it if it is not for you to use. That is, make the wisest use of the platforms you are active on.
