There can be many reasons for someone to search for hidden profiles, you might want to avoid scams, learn more about someone or find out if you are being cat fished. One of the most frustrating things a person can do is search for a person on a social network and not be able to find them.

It’s hard to find yourself on Facebook, let alone someone else! In this article, we will provide you with 4 methods on How to Find Hidden Profiles on Social Networks Free so that you can use to protect yourself online.

First of all, it is important to know that the more information you have on hand, the better your search results will be.

If you know the area of residence, E-Mail, phone number and real name of the person then you have much better chances of finding a hidden profile. 

Now, that is a lot of information to have. But do not worry, even if you only have an E-Mail address or a name then you can still use the methods we have listed below to get a decent result. 

How to Find Hidden Profiles on Social Networks Free:

So, now that the basics are behind us, let’s get into the heart of the matter.

1. Using Google

This is by far the least complicated way to find a hidden account. There are two methods you can use depending on the information you have.

The first method is Reverse Image Search. Most people use a few pictures for multiple social media accounts. If you have images where they look particularly good then you can conduct a reverse image search on those images to find their hidden accounts.

First, you will have to click on the camera icon which will open up a menu where you can upload the images.

You can upload an image by clicking on the “choose file” option and uploading the desired image from your device.

Once the image is uploaded, Google will automatically start searching for similar images on the internet.

Google Advanced Search is another great tool that you can use. This is essentially an advanced filtering method through which you can filter out the location, search terms, language and more.

Let’s say you want to find someone’s Twitter account. In the “all these words:” section you can write the person’s full name or their frequently used nickname.

After that, you should filter out the language and region, and then in the “site or domain section:” enter the address of the website you want to track them on. For this particular search, we will put https://twitter.com/ in the “site or domain section”.

Now all that’s left to do is to hit the “Advanced Search” button and you will have your results. 

2. Through Mutual Friends

If you have mutual acquaintances with the person then you can ask them individually if they know which other social media sites the person uses.

This is, of course, quite an involved process but it is definitely worth a try and if you find a mutual friend, they can lead you directly to the right account.

3. Using Facebook

Entering someone’s e-mail or phone number in Facebook’s search bar can lead directly to their account and posts they have made. 

This method only works for Facebook accounts though so you can pick up some clues(such as a full name or images) and use other methods we have listed in this article to find more detail.

4. Through Free Software

Most of the software used for this purpose is subscription-based, however, some of them provide little bits of information for free.

So even if you may not get everything from these apps, you can combine the small pieces of information to use for a google search as we mentioned above.

Social Network Finder and Social Searcher are two such softwares that you can use for this purpose.

Important note: These applications are not very reliable, their search results should be taken with a pinch of salt. So only use them as a last resort.
