How can someone see my story if we're not friends?

Well, it varies by the settings you have on the app or website. If you haven't customized the privacy settings, there's a chance that non-friends could see your story. But usually, the default is for only friends to have access.

No, usually they can't. Snapchat is designed to keep your stories private from people who aren't your friends.

It depends. Some platforms might allow public stories to be viewed by anyone, but for private or friend-specific stories, you won't be able to see them if you're not friends.

Well, it's possible for someone to see story highlights if they are made accessible to the public. However, if the owner has restricted the visibility to specific people or groups, then others won't be able to view them.

First, you need to be friends with the person and have them allow you to view their close friends' stories. Sometimes, this option can be found in the settings or privacy section of the app they're using to share the stories.

Your messenger friends can see your story if you have set the visibility settings to allow them to view it. Usually, this is configurable within the app's privacy settings.

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.

If you make your story private, the general rule is that no one else can view it. It's designed to protect your personal sharing. But keep in mind that technology isn't always perfect, and sometimes there might be unexpected issues with the privacy functionality.

Maybe if you share it on a public forum or social media group where membership or friendship isn't required. Another possibility is if it gets picked up and shared by others who make it visible to a wider audience.

Sure. If the platform has viewing analytics, they can. For instance, on Facebook Stories, the person who posted the story can see the list of people who watched it.
