For a short period of time, a bug allowed some Facebook users to see exactly how many views their posts were getting on the social network.
A Facebook representative told CTVNews.ca on Thursday, that the bug, which briefly affected some users of its mobile web site, has now been fixed.
On Wednesday, some Facebook users reported on Twitter that they could see tallies of how many people had viewed their posts. Some said they could also see how many views other users’ posts were racking up.
@facebook , this is creepy. I have view count showing up on a personal photo set to friends only. Why is this? pic.twitter.com/Ja3Q18YRiq

Anyone else see a "view" count on their Facebook posts now? pic.twitter.com/USrmCblRHq

Organizations and businesses that have public pages can already see how many people have engaged with their Facebook posts through a feature called "reach."
