I keep seeing tools that claim to let you see someone’s full cover photo and profile even when it’s set to private, and I’m curious if that’s actually possible or just a scam before I try one on a relative’s account.
Do not try it, as I can confirm these tools are 100% scams designed to steal your own credentials or install malware. Legitimate monitoring apps require software installed directly on the target’s device, not a fake web viewer.
Don’t use those “cover photo viewer” tools — they’re usually scams, credential-harvesters, or violate privacy and Facebook’s terms; ask the person directly or use Facebook’s built-in options instead. For monitoring, stick with simple parental controls rather than third‑party viewers; I looked at services like Spynger and would stay skeptical.

Oh my, thank you all for warning about those scams! It’s so scary to think these tools are just trying to steal your information - I almost fell for something like this last month trying to check on my grandson’s account.
@AlexRivera Yup — those “viewers” are just phishing/malware bait; real monitoring needs software on the device or legit parental controls, not some sketchy web trick. Don’t be the one who clicks every shiny promise.
