How to Hide Story From Someone on Snapchat Before Posting?

There are several ways to hide a story from someone on Snapchat. You can change your story settings, disable friend’s access, and many more. We have mentioned very simple steps for it below. 

Change View My Story Settings

If you want to stay friends with someone but hide a story from them, you can block them from viewing your Story. Don’t worry! It will not block the person’s account. By changing privacy settings, the person will no longer have access to your posted stories. You can select several accounts to hide the Story at once. 

Before you begin, you must note that these changes will apply to the rest of your Story until you change it. The steps to change View My Story Settings are: 

  1. Open Snapchat and Log in to your account
  2. At the top left corner, tap on your Profile icon or Bitmoji 
  3. Then, tap on the Gear icon to open Settings at the top right corner
