How to Hide Stories from Someone on Instagram, WhatsApp, and Snapchat

Do you want to know how to hide your Instagram stories from any stranger following you over there.? Well, that’s very much possible and it’s not only limited to Instagram. Also, on WhatsApp and Snapchat you can limit your stories to the followers that you know. Sometimes, there may be people with a stalking mentality that may not follow you or know you. However, these folks will never miss checking out any stories that you may post.

While making an account private is an option, not everybody may find it possible to do. Most people do online business these days through social media apps. Making their profile private will hamper their business transactions and networking. Besides, users keep updating their daily life by posting stories now and then. So, if they hide their Instagram, WhatsApp, and Snapchat stories then only the selected audience can watch and respond to the stories.

Hide Stories from Someone on Instagram

• Then tap on the profile icon
• Next, tap on the hamburger icon to expand the menu
  
• Navigate to Settings and tap to open it

If some users are not following you but duly check out your stories then you can block them. Otherwise, type in their usernames through the search console and add them to the list of users who cannot view your stories.

Hide WhatsApp Stories from Certain Users

Even on WhatsApp, some random people may access your profile if they have your number. They definitely end up reading your bio and stories. WhatsApp stories are referred to as status. You can stop them though. Here are the steps you need to follow.

Alternatively, you can also use the Only Share With option if you exclusively want your WhatsApp stories to be visible to a few contacts. The process to select the users is just the same as above.
