To switch a story from close friends to public, you need to navigate to the settings of the story. Find the option for audience selection and choose 'public'. Sometimes, you might need to confirm or save the changes for them to take effect.
You can start by adjusting the privacy settings in the relevant platform. Usually, there's an option to change the audience from just close friends to public.
First, look for the sharing or privacy settings of your story. It might be under options like 'audience' or 'visibility'. Select 'public' instead of 'close friends'. Also, make sure to review any additional settings related to who can view and interact with your story.
