  3. This button is in the upper-right corner of your screen, and it will take you to your Snapchat Settings menu.
  4. This option will be under " Who Can... " towards the lower-middle section of your Settings menu.
  5. You will have the option to choose from Everyone, My Friends, and Custom.
    • Select Everyone to make your Story available to everybody. Anybody with a Snapchat account will be able to view your story snaps even if you're not friends with them.
    • Select My Friends to limit your Story audience to your friends list. This will keep strangers from seeing your Story. Everybody in your friends list will be able to view your story snaps.
    • Tap Custom if you want to select certain friends to block from seeing your Story. Tapping on Custom will bring up your friends list, and you can choose friends one-by-one to block them from viewing your story snaps. They will still be able to see the Snapchats you send to them, but they won't be able to view your Story.

    How do I unblock people from my story custom? I click the red x but they still can't see my story.
    Community Answer
    The red button is to not let them see it, so you should do the opposite. If you want them to see the story, there should not be a red cross next to their name.

    How can I prevent certain people from seeing my Snapchat story on the newest Android version?
    Community Answer
    It’s exactly the same. It’s shouldn’t change from phone to phone and the app is the same even on the latest up date now.

  • Question
    Can people see my custom list on Snapchat?
    Community Answer
    They shouldn’t be able to. The only way someone can find out who can and can’t see your story is if they talk to someone who has seen your story and they have seen anything posted on your story.
