Are you looking to see what an ex or a friend of a friend is up to? Whatever your intentions, we’ll show you a few ways to see a person’s Snapchat Story without being friends with them. While the easiest way to see their Story is adding them, there are a couple of other methods you can try. For example, if the user has a Public Profile, the Discover Page could be a good way to find them; otherwise, you can look for Snaps added to Snap Map. This wikiHow article will teach you how to see someone’s Snapchat Story without adding them as a friend.
Steps
-

Scroll through the “Discover” section and look for the desired account. There is a chance that you can find a specific person’s Story by looking through the “Discover” section. However, it is important to note that a person will only show up in this section if they have a Public Profile with their Stories set to appear publicly. [5] X Research source
-
Open Snapchat. The Snapchat app icon is a white ghost on a yellow background.
-
Bring up Snap Map. [6] X Research source Tap the location marker icon in the bottom left of the screen to bring up your Snap Map.
-
Zoom in on a specific location. Assuming you know the location of the person whose Snaps you would like to see, zoom in on that location on the map by placing two fingers close together on the screen, then pulling them apart. [7] X Research source
-
Tap colorful hotspots near that location to look through Snaps. Hotspots ranging in color from blue to red will appear on the map where people have added Snaps. Look through the Snaps in a specific area to see if a person has publicly added a Snap to Snap Map. [8] X Research source

Tips
- Technically, the Snaps added to Snap Map are not the same as a person’s Snapchat story, but geotagged Snaps will often be added to people’s Stories as well.Thanks
