Sometimes, you just want to be a bit more exclusive. You might have a closer inner circle of friends and you want to share things only with them. Blocking other friends from seeing your story allows you to create that more intimate sharing space. It could also be that you're sharing something work - related that you don't want all your friends, especially those not in your professional network, to see.
One reason could be privacy. Maybe you want to share something personal or sensitive only with a select group. For example, if you're going through a tough time and sharing your feelings, but you don't want certain friends to know about it yet.
Sometimes, you might be sharing content that is relevant only to a particular group. For instance, if it's work - related stuff and some friends are not part of your work circle. Also, if a friend has a habit of over - commenting or being negative on your stories, you may choose to block them to avoid such interactions. It's all about controlling who has access to your personal updates.
You can go to the privacy settings of the app where you share your story and set it to hide from specific friends or make it visible only to certain groups.
Yes. You can use the 'Close Friends' feature. Add only the people you want to see your story to this list. Then set your story to be visible only to your close friends. This way, the person you don't want to see it won't be able to as long as they're not on the close friends list.
No, they generally won't be notified directly that you've blocked them from seeing your story. It just means that when they try to view your story, they'll find they don't have access to it.
You can adjust your privacy settings. Just go to the settings of the app you use and look for the option related to story visibility and select 'Only Me' or specific groups you want to allow.
Sure. Another option is to set your story privacy to 'Private'. Then, only your approved followers can see your story. So, if there are people you don't want to see your story among your followers, you can remove their follow request or change your follower list to exclude them. This gives you a way to manage who sees your story without directly blocking.
On most social media platforms, there are privacy settings. For example, on Instagram, you can go to your story settings and select 'Hide Story From' and then choose the friends you want to block from seeing it.
You can usually do it in the settings of the app you're using. Just look for privacy options related to your story and select who can view it.
Yes, it is possible. Once you set the privacy settings to block those friends, it should remain that way until you change it.
Most of the time, in the settings of the social media you're using, there's a section for story visibility. You can customise it and exclude friends from seeing. It might be a bit tricky to find, but keep looking and you'll get there.
