If it's a new or less - known platform, start by exploring the main menu. Look for any tab that says 'Settings' or 'Preferences'. In there, hunt for something like 'Story Visibility' or 'Content Filtering'. Some platforms may require you to create a 'Close Friends' group first. After that, you can usually find an option to make it so you only see stories from that group. It might take a bit of trial and error, especially if the platform has a complex user interface.
It might mean that you can only view the stories posted by your close friends. For example, on some social media platforms, there is a feature to limit the visibility of your stories to a selected group, and this could be about only seeing the stories within that 'close friends' group.
You can check their social media profiles. Sometimes, they might have shared their old stories there.
On some platforms, by default, non - close friends may be able to see your story. For instance, on Snapchat, if you haven't adjusted your story settings, your story could be visible to a wide range of people including those who are not your close friends. But usually, there are privacy controls available. You can often go into the settings and customize who can view your story. This might include options like 'only my best friends', 'friends except...', or 'custom'. If you select a more restrictive option that excludes non - close friends, then they won't be able to see it.
It depends on the settings of the platform you're using. Some social media platforms allow you to control who can see your story, and you can choose to limit it to only close friends.
No, usually only your close friends can see your story. It's a privacy setting that keeps it limited to those you have a closer connection with.
It could be a technical glitch with the app or platform you're using. Try refreshing or reinstalling it. Also, check if your internet connection is stable.
Unfortunately, you can't. This is to ensure that people can view stories without the worry of being tracked or identified. It's part of the platform's privacy policy.
You can usually see your friends' stories by opening the relevant social media app and looking for a dedicated section or icon that shows stories. For example, on Instagram, you'll find the stories at the top of the feed.
It depends. In some social media platforms, if your close friends' stories are set to public or shared with a specific group that includes you, then yes, you can see them. But if they have restricted the visibility to only certain people or made them private, then you can't.
On some social media like Instagram, there is usually a specific section for close friends' stories. You need to first create a close friends list. Then, when your close friends post stories, they will show up in that dedicated section for you to see.
