Step 5. Select who can see your stories
You can choose between "Anyone", "My Friends" or "Customize".
- Select "Anyone" to make the story visible to everyone. Anyone with an account on Snapchat will be able to view it, even if you're not friends.
- Select "My Friends" to limit the view of the story to your friends list, preventing it from being seen by strangers. Anyone on your friends list will be able to view the story.
- If you want to select certain friends to prevent them from seeing the story, tap "Customize". This will open your friends list and you can select all those you want to exclude. They will still be able to see the snaps you send them, but they will not be able to view your story.
