Did you post a personal story on Snapchat and want to see who joined in on the fun? There’s a simple way to do that:

Keep reading for a thorough guide on how to see who joined your private story on Snapchat. It’s nothing too complicated!
1. Tap on your profile picture
Once you open Snapchat and you’re on the “Chats” page, look in the top left corner for your profile picture and tap on it. This will take you to your profile page.
2. Select your story
After you open your profile page on Snapchat, find the “My Story” section and select the story you want to check. If you look carefully, you’ll see an Eye symbol next to your story, with a number next to it.
That number shows how many people have watched your story. But to see who those people are, tap on your story.
3. Tap on the “Views” option
Once you open your story, you should see the “Views” button in the bottom left corner of the page. Tap on it and continue! You’ll see the same Eye symbol there, as well.
4. See who viewed your story
You should see who viewed your private story on this page. Scroll through the list to find anyone specific you have in mind!
Conclusion
To summarize, here’s how you can see who joined your private story on Snapchat:
- Open Snapchat
- Go to your profile page
- Select the private story
- Look at the “My Friends” category to see who joined your private story
The Eye icon will tell you how many people have viewed your story, and the “My Friends” menu will show who has viewed your story.
By comparing this with your friend list, you’ll know who hasn’t viewed your story yet. This works with a public and a private story!

Do people receive notifications when I make a private story on Snapchat?
Yes, they do. But they won’t know it’s a private story unless you tell them. That’s because Snapchat doesn’t tell them it’s a private story.
They don’t receive a notification where it says you’ve invited them to your private story.
From their perspective, it’ll look like a regular story you’ve made. So, you can’t use private stories as marketing tools.
People you don’t include in your friend list for a private story won’t know you’ve posted a story, so it’s all good.
What’s the difference between a blue and purple private story?
Blue private stories on Snapchat are text only, and purple private stories are videos. There are also red private stories that are pictures.
Depending on the color of the lock on a private story, you can figure out what type of story it is.
In other cases, the purple lock shows that someone has shared a private story with you, and you haven’t seen it yet.
The blue lock shows that you’ve watched that story already, and you can choose to rewatch it at any time.
