All Snapchatters that have followed you, including your friends, will be able to swipe up while viewing your public Story and send you a reply. To keep our community safe, we automatically filter out spammy and abusive messages. We also currently hide non-text based messages from your Story Management.
- If you are 16 or 17, by default, you can view and quote replies from users who are subscribed to your content, but you cannot have a conversation with anyone who isn’t your friend.
- If you are 18 or older, you can view, open, quote, and reply to replies from users who are subscribed to your content, even if you’re not mutually accepted friends.
- All users can disable story replies at any time using the ‘Show Public Story Replies’ setting in Public Profile Settings.
- All users can filter out replies with specific words using the ‘Edit Muted Words’ setting in Public Profile Settings.
