You post something, it starts picking up steam, and that little share counter under it climbs from 3 to 30. Naturally, you want to know who’s spreading your content around. Maybe it’s for your ego, maybe you’re tracking reach for a business page, or maybe you just want to thank the people who helped your post travel. Whatever the reason, you click that share count expecting a neat list of names — and sometimes you get one, and sometimes you get almost nothing.
So, how do you see who shared your post on Facebook? The short answer: click the share counter under your post to see a partial list of public shares. The longer answer is that Facebook only shows you part of the picture, and understanding why will save you a lot of confused scrolling.
