How to block people from seeing your Snapchat story

If you want to hide one of your stories just from one or a few selected people, then simply do the following:

  1. Open Snapchat
  2. Go to your profile
  3. Scroll down to ‘My Stories’
  4. Tap the three dots and select ‘Story Settings’
  5. Click ‘Custom’
  6. Select who you want to block from viewing your story, then click ‘Block’

You can of course also opt to block someone entirely on the app, meaning they won’t be able to contact you or see your story. However, just blocking someone from seeing your story is a good option if you don’t want to block them completely.
