It depends. Sometimes there are indicators or notifications that might give them a hint, but it's not always straightforward.
It's not always obvious. Different social media or platforms handle this differently. Some might have explicit notifications, while others leave it more ambiguous.
Yes, they can. Instagram has a feature that shows who has viewed their story. So if you look at someone's IG story, they will be able to see your username in the list of viewers.
Yes, usually Instagram shows indicators that let people know if you've viewed their story.
No. Instagram doesn't have a built - in feature to anonymously view someone's story. If you view a story, the owner will be able to see that you've viewed it.
Chances are they can't. Unless there's a specific setting or feature enabled that indicates who has viewed their stories, people typically won't be able to tell if you did.
No, they can't. The duration you spend looking at a story is typically kept confidential and not accessible to others. This is to protect your privacy and reading habits.
In most cases, it's difficult to know exactly who has looked at your stories. Platforms usually don't provide this specific information for privacy reasons.
Well, it depends on the platform. In some cases, like Snapchat, the sender can see if you've watched their story. They get a notification or can view a list of viewers. But other platforms might not provide such information. There are also privacy settings that users can adjust on some platforms to limit who can see if they've watched a story.
Mostly no. When you block a story, it's a feature for your own convenience and privacy. Take TikTok for example. The app doesn't notify the creator of the story that you've blocked it. It's about you taking control of your feed and what you see, without the creator being aware of this specific action regarding their story.
In most cases, people cannot know if you screenshot their story. Social media platforms are mainly focused on enabling the sharing of content easily. If there were notifications for screenshots of stories, it might discourage people from viewing and sharing stories as they may be worried about the privacy implications of the creator knowing they took a screenshot. So, currently, on popular platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, etc., the story creator has no way of being informed that their story has been screenshotted.
Generally, people can't tell if you screenshot their story in 2023. But it depends on the specific platform and its settings. Some platforms might have advanced features that could potentially detect it, but it's not common.
