This guide will provide you with all the information you need to better determine whether you will be able to see who has viewed your Steam profile and also offer some ways to identify these users more accurately.
Can You See Who Views Your Steam Profile?

These third-party applications are generally safer to use than ones that claim to offer viewer information but should still be installed cautiously. You should carefully read all of the reviews and specifications for any third-party application that you download to your device. This will help you determine if the application is legitimate and make you aware of any issues identified by the community.

Final Thoughts
This guide has provided you with all of the information that you need to determine whether or not you will be able to tell if someone has viewed your Steam profile. As this guide indicates, Steam does not keep up with profile views and will not notify users when someone has viewed their profile. The only way that you will be able to tell if someone has viewed your Steam profile is to pay attention to the different interactions you are having with people while using the Steam application. If you notice that users are sending your messages, friend requests, or group invites, these are strong indicators that they have been viewing your Steam profile. If you have been sent a trade request, this is also a strong indicator that someone has visited your Steam profile. As previously mentioned, you should avoid using any type of third-party application to try and find out this type of information. Avoiding this type of software can help you keep your account and device safe from malicious software.
