Not necessarily. Usually, it's up to you to determine who can view your story. You might have the option to make it accessible to everyone, just your friends, or some custom group. It all depends on the platform and your privacy preferences.
It depends. On some platforms, only friends can see your stories by default, but you can often change the settings to make them public or visible to a specific group.
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.
On most platforms, if the setting is for only close friends to see the story, then that's how it works. But sometimes, there can be glitches. For example, on Instagram, if there's a problem with the app's cache or a temporary server issue, it might show the story to someone who isn't on the close friends list. However, these are rare occurrences.
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.
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.
No. The whole point of a private story is that it's private. Only the person who created the private story can see who is included in it, not the friends themselves.
In most cases, restricted friends cannot see your story. Let's take Instagram as an example. When you restrict a friend, their access to your content is limited. They won't get notifications from you as often, and they won't be able to see your story as it is meant to be private from them. This is a way to manage your privacy on the platform. You can control who gets to see the more personal or immediate content that you share in your stories, and restricted friends are not in that privileged group. However, always double - check the specific privacy settings of the platform you are using, as they may change over time or have some exceptions.
It depends on your privacy settings. If you have made your story visible to friends, then they can see it. But if you have restricted the access to only a selected group or made it private, then they won't be able to see it. Different social media platforms also have different default settings regarding story visibility to friends, so it's important to check those as well.
It depends. If your settings allow it, then yes. But if you have privacy settings that restrict who can view your story, then friends might not be able to see it.
