Each and every device that can be linked to the Internet is given a distinct numerical identifier known as an IP address. In its role as an identifier, it facilitates data transmission and communication between devices on a network.
While internet protocol (IP) addresses do not provide any personally identifiable information, they do reveal the country and ISP of a user. Here we’ll look at a few different ways to get someone’s IP address from Facebook.
How to Find Someone’s IP Address from Facebook
It should be noted that Facebook has removed the Nearby Friends feature, which enabled users to share their approximate position with friends in close proximity.
Method 1:Sharing Your Location Through Facebook Messenger
Users can now broadcast their current location to others in a Facebook Messenger conversation. In the chat box, you can view a map showing the approximate position of the person who has shared their location with you.
- Get the ball rolling on a Facebook Messenger discussion.
- Select Location after tapping the plus sign.
- Please choose Go live with location sharing for half an hour.
- Touch the “SEND LOCATION” button.
This function can only give a rough idea of where the person is, not their IP address.
Method 2: Making Use of External Resources
A number of unofficial resources assert to have the ability to deduce an individual’s Facebook IP address. These programmes usually capture users’ IP addresses when they visit malicious websites by misleading them into clicking on malicious links.
- Go to the website of Grabify IP Logger.
- Simply type in the text or URL you wish to share with the intended recipient.
- Choose “Create URL” from the menu.
- A tracking link has been produced; copy it.
- Cut and paste the tracking link into the chat.
Grabify records and displays the user’s IP address whenever they click on the compressed URL.
