On some social media platforms, no. For example, on Instagram, when you view someone's story, they generally can't directly see that you specifically have viewed it. However, there are analytics available to the story creator which gives them some overall information like how many views the story got, but not who exactly viewed it.
Yes, they can. Instagram has a feature that shows the list of people who have viewed their story. However, there are some privacy settings and workarounds. For example, if you view someone's story in incognito mode or use certain third - party apps (which might violate Instagram's terms), it may not show up in their view list. But generally, in the normal use of the app, if you view an Instagram story, the owner of the story can see that you've seen it.
It depends on the specific social media platform. Some might have features that notify the creator if you saw their story, but others don't. For example, on Instagram, you can have settings that control who sees your story views and vice versa.
On most social media platforms, no. When you view someone's story, they usually don't get a notification specifically saying that you've seen it. However, some platforms might have analytics that show general viewership numbers but not individual viewers in a way that can be traced back to specific people.
In most cases, no. Unless they have some way of tracking views or getting feedback from the platform, they likely won't know specifically if you saw it.
Generally, people can't tell for sure if you saw their story. However, some platforms might have settings or indicators that could give them an idea, but it's not always straightforward or obvious.
