It depends on the platform. For example, on Instagram, you can set your story privacy. If you have it set to public, then people you're not following can see it. But if you set it to private, only your followers can view your story.
Generally, no. Your story visibility is controlled by your account settings. If you haven't made it public or given access to people you're not following, they won't be able to see it. This is to protect your privacy and control who gets to view your content.
TikTok offers privacy settings for stories. If you haven't specifically restricted it, and your account is public, then there's a good chance that people not following you can view your story. But if you make your account private or adjust the story privacy to 'Friends only' or something similar, then only those you've approved (your followers) can see it.
In some cases, yes. For example, if your story gets shared by someone who follows you, or if it's featured or promoted by the platform itself, non-followers could potentially see it.
If your Instagram account is public, people can see your story even without following you. However, if your account is private, only your approved followers can view your stories.
Typically, when you block someone, it means you don't want them to interact with you or view your stuff. So, in the case of stories, blocked individuals are not supposed to be able to view them. Social media platforms are designed this way to respect the privacy and boundaries of users. For example, on Instagram, if you block a user, they won't be able to see your Instagram stories at all. It's like putting up a digital wall between you and that person so that they can't peek into your shared moments and content.
Most of the time, people cannot see your bookmarked story. Bookmarks are like a personal collection. They are made for you to easily access something you liked or found interesting again. However, in some cases where there are security vulnerabilities or if you are using a public device and forget to log out, there could be a risk of someone else seeing it, but this is not the norm.
It depends on the platform. On some social media platforms, your favorites story may be private by default and only you can see it. But on others, there could be settings that might make it visible to certain people, like your friends or followers. So, always check the privacy settings of the particular platform.
