Therefore, the Snapchat app allows you to block some person, so he or she cannot see your stories, and at the same time not to know that it is blocked. So how do you block someone from viewing your stories on Snapchat? Here are some answers we wrote down for you.

These are the privacy settings of your story. Next, find the heading View My Story. As Snapchat comes up with the option to make your story visible to anyone, you are now about to change it.

To do so, find the Custom button and click on it. then, you will have a list of your friends showing up. At this point, you are about to choose the person you want to block from viewing your stories. So, find a specific person and click on their name.

On the right side, next to the name, you will have a red X sign appear. If you click on it, you will have the viewing of the story blocked for the person you have just chosen, and the person will not have a clue about that.

Users often block people such as their parents, colleges, or people they fought with. Because Snapchat is very popular with teenagers, this is nothing to be surprised about.

What blocked person can see?

This option is related only to the stories, so these people will be able to send you messages via chat. To block someone from Snapchat, you will have to use another option that Snapchat is offering to its users.

If you have changed your mind about the blocked person, you can always unlock it and let it see your stories again. To do so, follow these steps:

First, open Snapchat and head to the main screen. Then, click on the Settings menu located in the top right corner of the device’s screen. Now, find the heading Blocked, under the section Account Actions. You will have the list of blocked people opened, and next to their names there will be a red X sign, on the right side. So, when you find a person you want to unblock, click on this sign.
