It's possible. While not specifically targeted, your friends could still see your sponsored story. Social media platforms analyze a lot of data about your relationships, interactions, and shared interests. If your sponsored story aligns with things that your friends are interested in, based on their own activity on the platform, they might be shown the story. For example, if you're sponsoring a local event and your friends have shown interest in similar local events in the past, they could be among the viewers of your sponsored story.
It depends. Some sponsored story settings allow you to target specific audiences. If you've set your sponsored story to be shown to a broad audience that includes your friends, then they'll likely see it. However, if you've restricted the visibility to a particular group that doesn't include your friends, they won't. Also, different platforms have different algorithms for displaying sponsored content.
It could be a technical glitch. Sometimes the app or platform might be having issues that stop you from seeing their stories. Also, check if your internet connection is stable. Poor connection can cause this problem.
There could be a few reasons. It could be a technical glitch on the platform, or your friend has chosen not to share it with you specifically. Sometimes, there are also privacy settings that prevent certain people from seeing the story.
Maybe your friends have set their stories to private or restricted the visibility to certain people. That could be why you can't see them.
It could be a technical glitch on the platform. Sometimes the app or website might have bugs that prevent you from seeing the stories. Or, it's possible your internet connection is unstable and causing the issue.
Maybe there's a technical glitch or your settings are off. Check your internet connection and app settings.
Maybe your privacy settings are set in a way that limits who can view your story. Check those settings.
It could be that your friends' apps are having glitches or they haven't updated. Have them try restarting their devices or reinstalling the app to see if that helps.
Maybe your friend has set their story to be visible to a specific group and you're not in it.
Maybe your friends have set their stories to be visible to only certain people, and you're not on that list.
