Typically, yes, only close friends can see a story depending on the privacy settings. For example, on Snapchat, you can customize your story viewing to a specific group which can be your close friends. You first need to create a group of close friends in your contacts or friend list on the app. Then, when you post a story, you can choose this group as the only ones who can view it. This helps in sharing private or in - joke kind of stories without making them public.
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.
Maybe you set the privacy settings that way. You might have chosen the option to limit the visibility to close friends only.
Not always. Some platforms give you the option to make your story visible to everyone, specific groups, or just your followers. It's all about the privacy settings you choose when posting the story.
You can usually do this by going to the settings of the social media app and looking for the option related to story visibility. There might be a specific setting to select to only view friends' stories.
For different social platforms, the process varies. Let's take Snapchat as an example. In the Snapchat app, after creating a story, you can go to the settings for that story and set the audience to 'My Friends'. Generally, most platforms have a straightforward privacy section where you can specify that only friends can view your stories. It's all about finding the right privacy settings within each app's interface.
On Facebook, if there were a similar concept of close friends' stories (as it has different types of sharing features), you would likely be able to manage the privacy. You could potentially limit the audience to a specific group that excludes others. However, the exact process would be determined by the platform's interface and privacy policy. Usually, the idea is to give users as much control as possible over their shared content.
It means that only the people you've added as friends on the particular social media platform can view the stories you post. For example, on some platforms like Instagram, if you set your story privacy to 'only friends can see', then strangers or people who are not in your friends list won't be able to see it.
It depends on your privacy settings. Usually, you can choose to make your close friends' stories visible to specific groups of people or keep them private altogether.
Your close friends themselves and anyone you've specifically allowed to view it can see your close friends story.
It depends. Different social media apps have different privacy settings. Sometimes you can see your close friends' stories if they have given you permission or if the platform's default settings allow it. But if they have restricted the visibility, you won't be able to see them.
