Hey all,

Does anyone know the answer? I hope to god the answer is "no" or else I may just have creeped out multiple acquaintances.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Send them a message and ask if they got a notification.

 

[Zeus The Dino]

she knows

 

[remz]

Gross dude.

 

[jerry113]

i hate you guys

 

[E_Darkness]

Yes.

 

[DreadPirateRoberts]

Don't do that

 

[marrec]

Just ask her out dude.

 

[Brazil]

(No.)

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

Send them a message and ask if they got a notification.

Too time consuming.

Tag everyone you saved a photo of in a post asking if they were notified.

 

[notsol337]

Tag fishing thread?

 

[Sarobi]

Yep they know. Facebook even tells them how long you looked at the pictures before downloading them

Spoiler

They don't know you downloaded them

 

[Alucrid]

doesn't it show up below the picture with "-your name here- downloaded this"

 

[sinkfla87]

No, GAF sends the notification after you tell everyone.

 

[Electric Eye]

Zuckerberg knows.

 

[boredandlazy]

Hey all,

Does anyone know the answer? I hope to god the answer is "no" or else I may just have creeped out multiple acquaintances.

Just screenshot the photo.

Note: It's not my intention to teach people how to stalk.

 

[Gattsu25]

Did you download them from the website? If so then you are fine as long as you didn't download from the mobile app.

 

[FUME5]

Yo, Creepy McCreeperson, start tagging yourself in her photos, even if you're not in them!

More effective than a crown of sonnets any day.

 

[Snaku]

 

[whitehawk]

No, only snapchat does that afaik.

 

[Earthbound64]

The internet, how does it work?

Of course they don't.

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

Send them a message and ask if they got a notification.

.

 

[Demy]

Oh, GAF.

 

[Psychoward]

1) no they don't

2) screencaps are a thing

3) don't do that dude

This is pretty solid advice right here.

 

[taco543]

Just post a status on faceboook saying: "Hey did any of you get a notification that I downloaded your pictures?"

 

[Nightfall]

It largely depends on your settings.

You can either get a weekly summary, which lists your pictures along with a no. of downloads and the names of said downloaders.
Or you can get instant notifications on picture downloads.

I found those instant notifications rather annoying, but the weekly summary is a bit late. I wish Facebook'd implement some more options like daily notifications or such.
Though I think I remember reading somewhere that they're updating their SDK so IFTTT can catch up on that.

Would be the best option imho. So you could accumulate all the info in a handy Google Docs spreadsheet.

[BlitzEngineer]

Hey guys. Look. Don't shame. We've all in moments of weakness creeped FB posts of our crushes/dumb college chicks we barely know/love of our lives if she only gave us a chance, right?

That said...just..don't download pictures of other people man...

 

[Earthbound64]

Tangentially related, but, it's cute that people feel so secure in their ability to send stuff on Snapchat feeling that they "know" whether or not someone took a screenshot of it, when the ability to duplicate a cellphone screen on a PC and do a PrintScreen of the cellphone screen is a thing.

Just saying.

 

[NaughtyCalibur]

Some girl recently admitted she fapped to some of my FB pics but I didn't get a notification when the fappening occurred so I'm gonna say no. Unless of course she was polite enough to fap directly on FB. Hmm... 🤔

 

[Master Of Illusion]

I hope your not within 50 yards of a school.

Spoiler

You know, in case you're forced to move.

 

[GK86]

Sends them a notification and puts you on the FBI watchlist.

 

[Korey]

You know you can turn off that notification in options right? (Settings > Privacy)

 

[Ultryx]

Lol man...

 

[Chesskid1]

downloading them is good because they are higher quality i've noticed

 

[Earthbound64]

Yeah, it'll send them a notification if you stay on any one picture for longer than 30 seconds, since if you do, they'll figure that you're masturbating to it.

 

[Syf]

This thread. Some of these replies. Dudes.

 

[dr3upmushroom]

Just take screenshots like a normal human being.

 

[super-famicom]

Shit, it's you who downloaded a picture of me earlier today?! I just logged in and saw this notification.

 

[jonno394]

What's your Facebook op? Let me know and I'll save some of your pictures and you can see if you get notifications.

 

[Mahonay]

Facebook immediately notifies your mother.

 

[Angry Grimace]

The real question is whether you are in any of these photos

 

[Machina]

Quit social media before you hurt yourself

 

[mantidor]

It's only creepy if you have to ask.

So yes.

 

[Reverend Funk]

Haha

 

[TheOctodad]

Most girls I know have a extension installed on Facebook that alerts them of people doing this. They don't talk about it most of the time because they don't want to seem vain or insecure, but it's there.

 

[Professor Renegade]

 

[Subpar Spatula]

I got catalogs of these photos. Perfectly normal to not want to sift through 5 years of facebook photos to get to the ones you like.

 

[cartographer]

Keep in mind Facebook tracks vibrations through your computer mic and notifies the owner of the photos if the vibrations match one of the crowd sourced fapping patterns.
