What is Facebook Friends Mapper?

Facebook Friend Mapper is a PC software that creates maps of friends to a Facebook profile. Suppose, you want to know how many mutual friends do you and your neighbor has, you can find out using this app. The map displays various kinds of connections between Facebook friends. You can view all of this data in the form of a map.

How does this help? You can analyze connections and see who is friends with whom. In social spheres and marketing domains, this information can be highly valuable.

Suppose you want to check how many of your office colleagues are friends with your manager. You are doing this in order to expand your connections. You can later add these friends to your profile and be a part of the professional circle.

So, the simplest way to do this is to peek into your manager's friend list. Then you would need a list of all your office employees to check against the list. It's a huge mission if you ask us. Therefore, using the Facebook Friends Mapper tool, you can simplify this task to a great extent.

You will directly be able to see who is friends with your manager in one go. None of the sorting and comparing required. The same process can be used in a multitude of ways.

How does Facebook Friends Mapper Work?

The tech behind the app is pretty simple. When you search for an account on Facebook, the app fetches all the friends of the account and displays like a map.

The app utilizes the publicly shared information such as public friend lists. Anyone who has a Facebook account with friend list privacy set to public will work with the app. The algorithm carefully sorts the friends with given conditions and you get a viewable map.

Using the map you can easily figure out the whole picture. It'll make the social intelligence part really easy for someone who is looking for such a piece of information.

The app claims to be able to view even the friend lists that have been kept private by the users. But this is only possible if the user has at least one mutual friend with the account they're searching. If there is no mutual friend, then it's hard to analyze the private friend list.
