I browsed someone’s Facebook profile and now I’m worried I’ll show up as a friend suggestion on Facebook or Instagram? How likely is this

No, you won't. However, if you have the mobile phone number or email address of the person saved in your contacts, you may show up as friend suggestions for each other. That said, other social networks may work differently. For example, TikTok or LinkedIn can give you access to who viewed your profile.

Ok this is a relief, I was worried that because I viewed someone’s profile who I hardly know, I may have shown up as a friend suggestion haha.
