Snapchat users can easily check who viewed or took a screenshot of a Story through the app’s settings. In general, Snapchat is designed to be a secure and privacy-focused service and this can be seen in many of the features, such as how Snaps and Stories disappear after a certain amount of time. However, if another user takes a screenshot of any or all of the Snaps within a Story, they can end up lasting for much longer than the original poster might have expected.

The Snapchat app has been expanding over time and now includes many popular features, and Stories is one of them. While a user can create a Snap, a Story brings together a collection of the user’s Snaps and plays them in the order they were created. Essentially, they are a viewable timeline of a user's Snaps. Other users can view someone’s Story as many times as they like, but they are automatically deleted after twenty-four hours.

Snapchat provides users with an option to see who has viewed or taken a screenshot of a Story and both can be checked in the same section. Simply head to the profile page for the account by tapping on the icon in the top-right corner. Once on the page, tap on My Story and then swipe up on the screen. The user will then be presented with a list of users who have viewed or taken a screenshot of the Story. For reference, the app will highlight those who have specifically taken a screenshot, making it easier to see who viewed and who screenshotted the story.

Checking Limitations & Changing Snapchat Permissions

There is a limitation on checking who has viewed or taken a screenshot of a Story, as the list generated by Snapchat only includes a maximum of 200 Snapchat users. This could prove to be a problem for any accounts with higher levels of engagement, as they will only be able to see the first 200 users that have viewed a Story, let alone screenshotted one. However, Snapchat users can check who has permission to view a Story and make any adjustments, if needed

Generally speaking, only Snapchat users added by the original poster should be able to view a Story. To check who currently has permission, open the profile page and tap on the settings (cog) icon. Scroll down to the Who Can section and then tap on the View My Story option. Once here, the user can choose whether Stories can be viewed by everyone or just by friends. Snapchat does also offer a Custom option that allows users to narrow the list of who can view a Story (and by association, take a screenshot) by selecting specific Snapchatters.
