In some newer messaging apps that do have story - like features, it might be possible. But it really varies. Some apps may give you the option to control whose updates you see in a more general privacy or customization section. But this is not as common as on social media platforms. So the answer is that it depends on the specific messaging app and its features.
No, usually messaging apps don't have a feature to show if someone has screenshotted a story. They focus more on privacy and ease of communication.
Maybe. On some messaging apps, there are no specific notifications for story forwarding. So, the person may not know directly. But if the person asks around among the common contacts, they might find out.
It depends on the messaging app. Some messaging apps like WhatsApp don't really have a concept of 'stories' in the same way as social media platforms. But if the app has a story - like feature, usually there are privacy settings. For example, in some apps, you can set your story to be visible only to certain contacts, which is a way of blocking others from seeing it.
Yes. For example, in WhatsApp, if you are sharing a status (which is similar to a story in other apps), you can set the privacy to 'My contacts except...' and then select the person you want to block from seeing that status.
Generally, no. Deleted stories in messaging apps are removed from the app's view. This is to safeguard the privacy of the users. Even if the app stores some data for a short period for technical reasons, it's not made available for viewing once the story has been deleted. And if there were any issues where deleted stories could be seen, it would be a major security and privacy concern for the app developers.
Well, in some messaging apps, you can simply unsubscribe or turn off the story feature for specific contacts. For instance, in Viber, if you don't want to see someone's story, you can go to their profile settings and look for an option to disable seeing their story - related content. This way, you can control your feed and avoid seeing the stories you don't want to.
Yes, in some cases you might be able to, depending on the platform and its settings.
Most messaging apps don't really have a 'close friends story' feature in the same way as social media platforms. But if you mean sharing something privately with a select group of friends, then yes. For instance, in WhatsApp, you can create a group with just your close friends and send messages or media that only that group can see. This is a form of hiding it from others.
Yes, you can. But it depends on the specific social media platform and its settings.
Yes, in some social media platforms, you can hide someone's stories. But the options and methods might vary depending on the specific platform.
