Ignore “profile viewer” apps and browser add-ons
They can’t access that data; many are scams that ask for your password or permissions.

Can I see who viewed my Facebook profile?
No — and neither can any app. Facebook does not provide a “who viewed your profile” feature, and tools that promise one can’t deliver it. What you <i>can</i> control is who’s allowed to see each part of your profile.
How to do it
If you installed one, remove it
Check Settings → Apps and websites and remove anything you don’t recognise.
Focus on what’s real: your audience
Use View as and your post audience to control who can see you at all.
Worth knowing
A page or message claiming to show “who stalked your profile” is a classic phishing hook. Never enter your Facebook password anywhere except facebook.com itself.
Questions
What about “story” or “page” view counts?
Stories show viewers and Pages show reach by design — that’s different from personal-profile views, which Facebook doesn’t report.
Can someone tell I looked at their profile?
No. Viewing a personal profile isn’t reported to its owner.
