You may no longer have the 'Everyone' option under 'View My Story' in your Story settings. If you’re 18+, you can post to your public My Story to share content for all Snapchatters, including your friends and followers, to see instead! If you’re 16 or 17, your public Stories will only be recommended to Snapchatters who are already your friends or followers, and to other Snapchatters you share mutual friends with. These public Stories will not be distributed to the wider community in “Discover.”
You can think of your public My Story as the new My Story with 'Everyone' privacy settings. You still have the 'Custom' and 'My Friends' options for My Story for friends!
Post to just your friends using My Story · Friends and post to a wider audience using My Story · Public. Your friends (Snapchatters you have added back) will see your public My Story in the Friends section of the Stories page and your followers (Snapchatters who you haven't added back) will see your public My Story in the 'Following' section of the Stories page. Anyone can see your Public Story on your Public Profile. Like your My Story, your public My Story will no longer be viewable by other Snapchatters after it expires.
To see which of your friends viewed your public My Story and see replies from your followers, go to 'My Profile' and tap on your Public Story Snap under 'My Public Profile'. Replies to your public My Story from your friends will show up directly in your Chat feed.
With public posting options, by default, if you’re 16-17, you can receive Story replies from those who follow them, but cannot have a chat conversation with the replier unless they are mutually accepted friends. Users can turn off story replies at any time.
