Wild nights, crazy parties, and absurd filters—everything beyond crazy goes easily to our Snapchat stories. It’s the heartbeat of youngsters and the headache of most parents! But one thing’s certain: Snapchat remains a raging platform among youngsters. This iconic Ghost logo app only allows communication via personal messages, making it a world of random snaps and funny voice notes that often lead to rounds of laughter. Also, no camping under a friend’s post, no laughing reactions to make fun of them because there’s no feed!
However, their stories go beyond making up for everything; users make the most of it. Now, we’re here to address an often-asked question that Snapchat users have. They ask if you block someone from seeing your story on Snapchat, will they know?
Are you curious about it, too? If so, why don’t you follow along and check out the answer?
If You Block Someone from Seeing Your Story on Snapchat Will They Know?
Remember, Snapchat will not notify your contacts when you block them from seeing your story! If you were thinking differently, kindly relax.
However, just because your Snapchat contact hasn’t received an official confirmation doesn’t mean they won’t get a hunch. Yes, that’s right. Although the individual may not have an idea, they can just hunt for hints and workarounds to draw some solid conclusions.
We’ll mention these cues so you are prepared to confront the situation if ever the need arises. If you want to know about those hints, please go to the next parts.
They suspected it
We understand the nervousness you could experience while sharing a Snapchat story and blocking someone from seeing it. But, with Snapchat out of the question, nobody will even be aware that you shared a story!
They could ask you if they suspect you have uploaded a story, but they cannot access it. Moreover, they’ll only pose this question to you when you share a story every day, or at least most days, without fail! So, they’ll be suspicious if your stories stop appearing, won’t they?
Now, when they ask you, you can deny adding any stories to your account! The issue will be resolved right away! However, stumbling and fumbling will simply offer them more grounds for suspicion, so try to act certain when you’re questioned about it.
Mutual friends informed them
Who among our contacts hasn’t signed up for Snapchat? Everybody you know is on the app, sending selfies and random photos to not let the streak break, right? The app has paved its way to almost every smartphone in our homes.
Having so many contacts also means we have a lot of mutual friends on the platform. So, most likely, a common friend discussed your recent story with the person you hid your story from.
If that’s the case, the person will have solid evidence that you’ve blocked them from viewing their story!
Ask your common friends whether they’ve spoken to the target Snapchat user about the story you recently shared. If they did, the person will definitely be aware that you have added a story.
You might have skipped blocking them from your story
It may sound absurd, but we must consider the possibility! Why not check again to see whether you blocked the person from using your story?
If you’re unaware of the steps to block someone from your story, we’re here to guide you! Below, we’ll also provide you with a step-by-step tutorial for editing your privacy settings so you can further limit who can see your story. So, check it out.
Steps to edit your Snapchat story privacy settings:
Step 1: Open Snapchat on your phone.
Step 2: Your profile picture is at the screen’s upper left corner. Please click on it.
Step 3: Scroll down to My Stories. You’ll see the three horizontal dots icon at the right corner of My Story. Tap on it.
Step 4: A menu list with four choices will appear on the screen: Add to story, Auto-save to memories, Save story, and Story settings.
Select Story settings.
Step 5: Under Who Can View My Story, there are two options: Friends Only and Custom.
Friends Only means only your Snapchat friends can check your story. However, if you set it to custom, you will be whisked to the Custom privacy option. Here, you can search and find friends to block them from seeing new snaps you add to your story!
Step 6: If you choose Custom, scroll and select the Snapchat contacts you want to block.
Step 7: A Block option will appear on the screen. Go and tap it to confirm your action.
