Finding out someone screenshotted your story feels personal. You posted something and someone saved it without saying a word. Snapchat does give you a way to check but there’s an important catch that most guides don’t mention. Whether it actually works depends on what kind of story you posted. Here’s the full picture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Friend Story vs Public Story: This Matters a Lot<\/span><\/h1>\n

Before going through the steps you need to know one thing. Snapchat handles screenshots differently depending on who can see your story.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you posted to My Story and only your friends can see it, Snapchat will show you a screenshot icon next to the name of whoever took one. That feature works and is easy to find.<\/span><\/p>\n

Public stories are trickier. Snapchat’s screenshot indicator doesn’t catch everyone and it’s pretty well known at this point. Anyone who grabbed your story through a download tool or browsed it without logging into Snapchat simply won’t appear in your list. You could have zero screenshot icons showing and still have people saving your content.<\/span><\/p>\n

So the steps below work well for friend stories. For public stories they give you partial information at best.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to See Who Screenshotted Your Story<\/span><\/h1>\n

  1. Open Snapchat and tap your Bitmoji or profile<\/a> icon in the top left corner.<\/span>

  2. Under My Stories find the story you want to check and tap on it.<\/span>
    \n\"\"<\/li>\n
  3. Swipe up on the story or tap the eye icon at the bottom of the screen.<\/span>
    \n\"\"<\/li>\n
  4. Your viewer list will appear. Scroll through it.<\/span>
    \n\"\"<\/li>\n
  5. If someone took a screenshot you’ll see a double arrow icon next to their name. It looks like two overlapping arrows forming a square.<\/span>
    \n\"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That double arrow is the screenshot indicator. Any name without it just watched the story without capturing it.<\/span><\/p>\n

    What the Screenshot Icon Actually Looks Like<\/span><\/h1>\n

    A lot of people confuse the icons in the viewer list. Here’s a quick breakdown so you know exactly what you’re looking at.<\/span><\/p>\n
