Yes, but Facebook does not reveal your profile name. Other Viewers are people who haven&#8217;t become friends with you yet. So, you can&#8217;t tell who they are if you don&#8217;t know them. But you can still check how much engagement you&#8217;re getting and block them from viewing your story. Here&#8217;s how.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_unhide_a_friends_story_if_we_arent_friends\"><\/span>How to unhide a friend&#8217;s story if we aren&#8217;t friends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can view who has seen your story on Instagram. To do this, simply tap on the profile photo of the person you want to unhide. You can also tap on the &#8216;Followers&#8217; tab and select &#8216;Unhide Story&#8217;. After this, you will be able to view the stories of other users. If you&#8217;re not friends with them, you may not want to share your story.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve accidentally hidden a friend&#8217;s story because you&#8217;re not friends with them, don&#8217;t worry. There are other ways to unhide their stories. You can select a select few friends who you&#8217;d like to share your story with, or you can choose everyone. If you have a large list of friends, you can choose to make a special exception for these friends. If you&#8217;re not friends with them, you can also choose to unhide their stories by clicking &#8216;Hide story from&#8217; in their story settings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_privacy_settings_to_Friends\"><\/span>Changing privacy settings to &#8220;Friends&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing privacy settings to &#8220;Friends&#8221; is an easy way to limit the information that your Facebook friends can see on your profile. You can change this setting to control who can view your posts and what they can see about you. Facebook allows you to restrict the information that your friends can see on your profile, as well as the apps you use. Changing privacy settings to &#8220;Friends&#8221; is the best way to protect your privacy and ensure that your friends only see your posts that are intended for them.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook&#8217;s default setting is &#8220;Friends.&#8221; This will apply to all of your posts and content. However, you can set specific posts to be shared with a curated list of people or the public. Expand the items you want to share to see the list of groups and people. You can also change privacy settings for individual posts. Once you have selected the group or people you want to share information with, you can click &#8220;Edit&#8221; to change the privacy settings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Checking_engagement\"><\/span>Checking engagement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can tell if someone is engaged with a Facebook story by looking at the &#8220;Other Viewers&#8221; option. &#8220;Other Viewers&#8221; are people who are not in your friends list, but who have followed you on Facebook or Messenger. Facebook does not reveal these people&#8217;s identities. The only time they&#8217;ll appear is when you share your story to the public. When you share a story to the public, you&#8217;ll make it available to everyone you follow on Messenger or Facebook. If you&#8217;re worried about privacy, check your story&#8217;s settings to make sure it&#8217;s private.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocking_someone_from_viewing_a_story_if_we_arent_friends\"><\/span>Blocking someone from viewing a story if we aren&#8217;t friends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook is constantly adding new features to its platform, and the most recent addition is Facebook Stories. But how can you block other people from viewing your stories? If you don&#8217;t want to share your stories with others, you can change the privacy setting on your Facebook story so that no one else can view it. You can do this by selecting the &#8220;Friends&#8221; option from the Privacy menu.<\/p>\n<p>The first option is to block the person from viewing your stories. If you want to block a person, go to their story and click &#8220;block&#8221;. The person&#8217;s name will be hidden from the list of people who can see your stories. However, you can always go back to your story and request to become friends again. However, remember that the process can be a little embarrassing.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"margin: 0px auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CmKyExF8j6Y\" width=\"532\" height=\"297\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can I See Who Viewed My Facebook Story If We Aren&#8217;t Friends?
