The bug is revealed to show view counts on a few posts by individual users and pages which should not be visible to their own page, according to the Verge.
A new Facebook bug has been spotted, with the glitch letting you see just how little people care about that latest photo of your cat you posted, Digital Spy said. The bug, discovered by a few users recently, only affects Facebook’s mobile site, and not Facebook for desktop or the company’s official mobile apps.
The view counts are shown only under links shared or posted by users, and sometimes also underneath posted images.
Facebook is testing out a lot of new features these days, including new shopping features and a videos page, where Facebook will recommend videos to watch based on what you’ve already viewed. The disparity could be explained if the view count is the total number of views accrued by the link across the whole social network.
A few Facebook users noticed the change on Wednesday and posted screenshots of it to Twitter.

It involved those little Like, Comment and Share buttons you see under your posts. Over a month, users on average will only reach nearly only two out of every three friends. Many have invested heavily in growing the number of likes on their page.
