We’ll discuss a private story on Snapchat and how to post a private Snapchat story and add members to the private story. Further, we will see how to delete the private story after it has served its purpose. Take a look!

What Does Private Story on Snapchat Mean?

A private story is a feature on Snapchat that lets you separate your story from the other. Besides, only you can decide who should view the private story.

Unlike public Snapchat stories, your Snapchat friends won’t see the private story that you create unless you add them.

How To Post a Private Snapchat Story

You have two methods of posting a private Snapchat story, but ensure your Snapchat is updated before proceeding with any of the methods below.

Method #1: Post Private Story from Camera Screen

With this method, you are following the same steps you use when taking a snap to share to your Snapchat story.

Follow the steps below:

   Any person you choose will have a blue tick on the right.
7. With your friends selected, click the checkmark to finalize posting the private story.

You will note the private story has a padlock icon, which symbolizes that the story is private and distinguishes it from the other stories.

Method #2: Post from Your Profile

Follow the steps below:

5. Click on the name of the story and type the one you prefer.
