How can someone see my second story but not the first?

Maybe they accessed it through a specific link or reference that led directly to the second story without showing the first.

It depends. If you've shared it publicly, like on a social media platform or a writing website, then there's a chance someone could see it. But if it's private and not accessible to others, then no.

Yes, adding as a friend is often a way for them to see your story. Take Facebook as an example. If you post a story on Facebook, your friends are the ones who are likely to see it first. There are also other factors like the privacy settings you've chosen for your story. If it's set to 'Friends only', then clearly adding someone as a friend is the key for them to be able to view it.

No. If someone is restricted, they generally don't have access to view your story. Restrictions are often put in place to limit what a particular person can do or see in relation to your content.

It depends. Usually, if you haven't shared it publicly or with specific people, they can't see it.

It depends. If you share it publicly or with specific people, they can see it. But if it's kept private on your device, no one else can.

It depends on the settings and privacy options you have chosen. If you haven't restricted access properly, someone might be able to see it.

Typically, when you put someone on your restricted list, it means you want to limit their access to certain aspects of your profile, such as your story. So, the answer is no. The whole point of having a restricted list is to control who can view your more private content like stories. For example, on Instagram, if you add a user to your restricted list, they won't be able to see your stories just like they won't be able to see other restricted content.

In most cases, no one can see your story when your account is private. This is to protect your privacy and control who has access to your content. Only the people you've specifically allowed or those within a certain group you've designated would be able to view it.

In most cases, people on your restricted list are blocked from seeing your story. This is to give you control over who views your content. However, it's always best to check the specific settings and policies of the platform you're using to be sure.
