Backstalking Is The Best Thing About Facebook

It is the absolute simplest way to find the most embarrassing photos that your friends have ever posted to Facebook. Use carefully.

You've stalked an ex or an old friend from school on Facebook, and you've probably dug up some embarrassing photos.

But if you want to find someone's most cringeworthy Facebook photos, you can't just stalk. You need to backstalk.

Here's how to backstalk:

A: Go to anyone's profile page.

B: Click Photos.

C: Click on their most recent photo.

D: Click the left arrow.

E: Enjoy.
