Understanding the Difference Between Custom and Private Stories on Snapchat<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, the world of Snapchat: where stories unfold, filters transform faces, and emojis speak volumes! Today, we dive into the realm of custom and private stories. Imagine it like this: a custom story is your own little curated exhibition, while a private story is like a VIP section at a party – exclusive access only!<\/p>\n

Let’s break it down further. When you post a photo or video on Snapchat, your regular story goes out to all your friends (based on your privacy settings). Now, enter the Private Story – it’s like having a secret handshake to get in. First, you create a Custom Story and then switch it to private mode. How fancy!<\/p>\n

Now, how do you know if you’ve made it onto someone’s exclusive Private Story list? Look out for that purple lock icon around their story – if you see it, congrats! You’ve earned yourself VIP access. But beware, those not invited will remain locked out from viewing the content.<\/p>\n

An insider tip: Want to add to someone else’s Custom Story? It’s as easy as creating a snap in your usual way, selecting the Custom Story at the top of the ‘Send To’ screen \u2611\ufe0f , and hitting send! Voila! You’ve sprinkled some magic onto their creation.<\/p>\n

So next time you’re navigating through Snapchat stories, remember the difference between custom and private – one for showcasing your flair and another for that top-secret sharing!<\/p>\n

How to Create and Manage a Custom Story on Snapchat<\/h2>\n

To create and manage a Custom Story on Snapchat, you first need to understand the distinction between Custom Stories and Private Stories. While a Private Story involves creating a Custom Story first and then making it private, allowing you to choose who can view your post before publishing it, a Custom Story is a bit more flexible. By going to your Settings and selecting “Custom” under the “View My Story” privacy controls, you can exclude specific friends from seeing your My Story, keeping it more tailored to your preferences.<\/p>\n

If you’re an iPhone user, creating a Custom Story allows you to craft a story that only a select group of friends can view or add to. Unfortunately for Android users, while they can still contribute to others’ Custom Stories, they cannot create their own. To get started with your own Custom Story on Snapchat, simply go to your Profile and tap on ‘New Private Story’ or ‘New Shared Story’ if it’s your first time setting one up. If you’ve already got one set up, tap ‘+ New Story’.<\/p>\n

When exploring the types of stories available on Snapchat – My Stories, Private Stories with a padlock icon for limited viewership , and Shared Stories for collaborative groups – remember that each serves its unique purpose in sharing content with different audiences. In this digital age where social media reigns supreme, knowing how to wield the power of customizing who sees what can be key in maintaining control over your online presence.<\/p>\n

Now that you’re armed with the knowledge of how Custom Stories work on Snapchat, think about how you can utilize this feature to showcase different aspects of your life to various groups of friends. It’s like having different sets at a theater – pick and choose who gets front-row seats! Get creative with your storytelling and let those snaps shine in their customized glory!<\/p>\n

Is a custom story the same as a private story?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

A Private Story involves creating a Custom Story first. Once you create one, you can then make it private.<\/p>\n

How do you know if you\u2019re the only one on a private story?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

The only way to know that you are on someone\u2019s Private story list is if you see the purple lock icon around a story. The purple lock indicates that the story is private and you are allowed to view it. Users who are not on a Private story will not be able to view the story at all.<\/p>\n

How do you add to someone else\u2019s custom story?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

To add to someone else’s custom story, create a Snap like usual, select a Custom Story at the top of the \u2018Send To\u2019 screen, and tap the button to send!<\/p>\n

Can someone see how many times I view their Snapchat story?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Snapchat does not have a definitive way to let you know that your story has been viewed multiple times. Snapchat generates the viewer\u2019s list based on who viewed your story last.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
