my story shared

Maybe there was a limit on the length or some technical glitch. Hard to say for sure without more details.

Maybe there's a copyright issue. Or it could be that the platform you're using has certain restrictions.

Sure it can. As long as you have the rights and the platforms allow it, there's no reason why not.

On some social media platforms, there are features that can indicate if your story has been shared. For example, on Instagram, if someone takes a screenshot of your story, you will get a notification. However, not all platforms have such clear indicators for sharing. Some might only show the number of views or interactions related to your story, but it's not always easy to tell specifically if it has been shared. It really depends on the platform's design and privacy settings.

It depends on the platform or app where it was shared. Usually, the people within your friend or follower list on that platform can see it.

It depends on the platform you shared your story on. Some have clear indicators and stats to let you know about shares, while others might not be as straightforward. But generally, there are ways to find out if you look in the right settings or analytics section.

Perhaps your network connection is unstable. Also, make sure the recipients have the appropriate access or permissions to receive the shared story.

It could be that the content of your story violates Instagram's community guidelines. Make sure there's nothing inappropriate or against their rules.

Unfortunately, once your friend has viewed your story, there's no option to unview. It's like opening a door and not being able to close it again in this case.
