Can someone still see your story if you remove them on Snapchat?

Can someone still see your story if you remove them on Snapchat?

Snapchat’s privacy settings allow users to control who can see their stories. If you remove someone as a friend on Snapchat, they will no longer be able to view your stories unless you have specifically allowed it through your settings.

Can friends see your Snapchat story after removing them?

No, friends who you have removed or deleted can no longer view your Snapchat story. When you delete or remove someone from your friends list on Snapchat, they are automatically removed from being able to view your stories as well.

Here’s a more detailed look at what happens when you remove or delete someone as a friend on Snapchat:

  • They are removed from your friends list and can no longer send you snaps.
  • They can no longer view your stories or see your snapscore.
  • Any conversations you’ve had with the user will be deleted.
  • They are removed as a best friend.
  • You are removed from their friends list as well.

So in summary, no, friends who you have removed or deleted on Snapchat can no longer see your story posts.

Can someone see your Snapchat story if you haven’t added them back?

If you’ve deleted someone or removed them from your friends list, they cannot view your Snapchat story even if you haven’t added them back. The only exception is if you specifically allowed that person to remain on your “View My Story” list in your privacy settings.

To recap, if someone is not on your current friends list, they cannot see your story unless you purposefully allowed it in your settings. The steps to allowing ex-friends to view your story are:

  1. Go to your profile page
  2. Tap the settings gear icon
  3. Select “View My Story”
  4. Add the username(s) of any ex-friends you want to view your story

So in general, someone you have deleted or removed cannot see your story anymore, but you can manually change this in your settings if desired.

Can strangers see your Snapchat story?

No, strangers or people who are not friends with you on Snapchat cannot see your story posts by default. Your stories can only be viewed by your current Snapchat friends list.

There are a couple exceptions where strangers can view your public story:

  • You choose to post to your public story when sharing (this allows anyone to view).
  • You allow certain people to view your story through settings, even if not friends.
  • Your story gets re-shared by a friend to their own story or elsewhere.

But in general, only friends added on Snapchat can see the private stories you post. Strangers or non-friends cannot watch your regular Snapchat story.

Can you see someone’s Snapchat story without adding them?

No, you cannot view someone else’s Snapchat story if you haven’t added them as a friend. Both people must be friends on Snapchat in order to view private stories.

The only way to see someone’s story without adding them is if they have a public story that anyone can view. But regular personal stories require a friend connection on Snapchat in order to watch.

Can someone see your Snapchat story from a different account?

If a person has multiple Snapchat accounts, they will only be able to view your story from accounts that are friends with you. Just because they have one account added, doesn’t mean all their accounts will be able to watch your story.

For example, if Sue is friends with you on one account but has another account you’re not friends with, she will only see your story when logged into the account that is connected to you. Her other accounts won’t have access even though she does from her primary account.

The only way for someone to view your Snapchat story from multiple accounts is if you have friended all of their accounts. If an account of theirs is not on your friends list, they can’t see your story from that account.

Can someone download your Snapchat story without you knowing?

Unfortunately yes, it is possible for someone to download or record your Snapchat story without your knowledge. There are various third-party apps and workarounds that allow this.

While Snapchat notifies you when someone screenshots your snaps, stories can be recorded or downloaded secretly. Some ways this can happen include:

  • Using a second device to record the screen.
  • Third-party apps that can record Snapchat.
  • iOS screen recording when your story audio is on.
  • Android apps that hijack Snapchat data.

There is no foolproof way to prevent someone from saving your story if they are determined. The best you can do is be mindful of who you share stories with and avoid public stories if concerned.

Conclusion

In summary:

  • Friends removed from Snapchat can no longer view your stories
  • Strangers or non-friends cannot see your private stories
  • Other accounts of a friend need to be individually added to see your stories
  • While possible to download stories secretly, sharing thoughtfully can help

Snapchat gives you control over who can view your stories through its privacy settings. But be cautious as stories can be recorded without consent. Overall it’s best to share stories only with close friends you trust if privacy is a top concern.
