If you want to allow only a few friends to see your Snapchat story, you can create a private story on your account. We show you how to do this on Snapchat on iPhone and Android.
How Private Snapchat Story Works
In a private Snapchat story, only you can add Snaps. Also, only friends you select can view these Stories. Your unselected friends won’t even know you’ve created a private story.
Your friends will see your Private Stories mixed with your Stories of Mine. However, on an Android device, Private Stories and My Stories may appear separately.

How to create a private story on Snapchat
To create your first private Snapchat story, launch the Snapchat app on your iPhone or Android phone. In the upper left corner of the app, tap on your profile icon.

On your profile page, next to “My stories,” tap “Private story.”
You will see a “New Private History” screen. Here, select the friends who can see your story. Then, at the bottom of this screen, tap “Create Story.”
You will now see a “Rename story” message. In this message, touch the text field and enter a name for your story. Then, tap on “Save.”
Snapchat will take you back to your profile screen. Your private story is now created and you can now start adding content to it. To do so, in the “My Stories” section on your profile page, tap on your newly created Private Story.
Snapchat will open your phone’s camera allowing you to capture content and add it to your private story.

If you want to delete your private story, go to your profile page on Snapchat. Next to your Private Story, tap on the three dots. Select “Delete History” from the three-dot menu.
In the message that opens, tap “Delete” and your private history will be deleted.
And that’s how you create Snapchat Stories that only your select friends can see!
Snapchat offers several options to help you manage your Stories, such as the option to block people from viewing your Stories. This is quite useful if you don’t want someone to be able to access your story content.
