Generally, no. Your story visibility is controlled by your account settings. If you haven't made it public or given access to people you're not following, they won't be able to see it. This is to protect your privacy and control who gets to view your content.
It depends on the platform. For example, on Instagram, you can set your story privacy. If you have it set to public, then people you're not following can see it. But if you set it to private, only your followers can view your story.
TikTok offers privacy settings for stories. If you haven't specifically restricted it, and your account is public, then there's a good chance that people not following you can view your story. But if you make your account private or adjust the story privacy to 'Friends only' or something similar, then only those you've approved (your followers) can see it.
In most cases, no. Usually, when you're typing a response to a story, it's a private action within your device. But there are exceptions. For example, in a group chat where the story is shared and the chat app has a 'typing' feature enabled for the whole group, people might be able to tell that someone is typing something, but not necessarily that it's a response to the story specifically.
In most cases, no. Usually, others can't directly see you typing unless it's a specific platform with real-time typing indicators.
No, usually if your story is set to private, only those you specifically allow or grant access to can see it.

No. Instagram doesn't show if someone is typing a response to a story. It keeps the process of typing your reply private, so you don't have to worry about others seeing that you're formulating a response.
Sure. Snapchat offers privacy options for your story. You can go to the story settings and choose the audience. If you don't want certain people to see it, you can either make it private to a select group or exclude specific individuals. For example, if there are some friends who you don't feel comfortable sharing your story with, you can easily block them from seeing it through these privacy controls.
In some cases, yes. For example, if your story gets shared by someone who follows you, or if it's featured or promoted by the platform itself, non-followers could potentially see it.
If your Instagram account is public, people can see your story even without following you. However, if your account is private, only your approved followers can view your stories.
