For Facebook users who spend most of their time checking out people's pages in the comforting knowledge that no one can see what you're doing, things are about to change.

That's all because of a new Facebook feature called stories, as the Manchester Evening News reports.

Now if you're familiar with Instagram or Snapchat stories you'll know exactly where this is going.

On those platforms you can tell not only exactly how many people have viewed your videos or seen your images but you can actually see who has been looking at it.

Hence creepers could be about to get caught out.

So if you're checking out what the ex is up to, or how that annoying friend from school is doing, or just being plain nosy, you might want to think twice before doing so now.

The new feature basically allows users to share updates and form a story that lasts for 24 hours before disappearing entirely - unlike a normal status that remains there forever. It also lists who has viewed the story and how many people have looked at it.

This is a huge change for Facebook...and the creepers.

You have been warned.
