Can someone you don't follow see that you viewed their story?

Most of the time, they can. For example, on Instagram, if you watch someone's story, your username will show up in the list of viewers regardless of whether you follow that person or not. It's a way for the story creator to know the reach of their story.

Well, in many cases, no. Usually, you need to follow someone to have access to their stories. But some social media might show you recommended or public stories from people you don't follow.

Generally, you can't. Social media platforms often restrict story viewing to followers to protect users' privacy and control the sharing of personal content. But there could be some exceptions depending on the platform's settings and the user's privacy choices.

It depends. Some platforms might show your story to a wider audience based on certain algorithms or settings, but generally, it's less likely for someone who doesn't follow you to see it directly.

In some cases, yes. It depends on the platform and its settings. Some social media apps notify the person when their story is viewed by others.

Generally, people can't tell if you've viewed their story highlights. Social media platforms often don't provide this specific visibility feature to maintain users' privacy.

In general, WhatsApp provides visibility to the sender about who has seen their story. This is part of the app's functionality to give users an idea of the reach and engagement of their shared content.

No, they can't. When you block someone, they don't have access to that kind of information about your activity.

Typically, no. Many social media platforms are designed in such a way that the act of a non - follower viewing a story goes unnoticed by the story owner. This is mainly to encourage more organic viewership and not make users overly self - conscious about who is viewing their content. The focus is more on the overall reach and engagement numbers rather than the specific identity of the viewers in terms of follower status.

It depends on the platform. Some social media platforms might allow it if the story is set to public, but others might not.
