Are you wondering whether you can see who screenshotted your public Snapchat Story? Unlike private friend-only stories, public Snapchat stories have different screenshot policies, which confuse most users. Check this post to learn the details about the rules for Snapchat Public Stories!

Snapchat Screenshot Notification: Public Story vs Private Story

Snapchat uses two entirely different tracking systems for private friend-only stories and public stories, which explains why users struggle to see who screenshotted your public Snapchat Story.

Private Friend-Only Stories

This story mode is only visible to your added Snapchat friends. For your Snapchat friends, Snapchat provides detailed screenshot information. You can open the viewer list and see a double-arrow icon next to the username who has taken a screenshot.

Public Snapchat Stories

Unlike Private Stories, Public Stories are visible to all Snapchat users, including friends and strangers. For these public posts, screenshot tracking is partial. If your Snapchat friends take screenshots, you will see their usernames and screenshot symbols in your viewer list. However, if a stranger has taken a screenshot, you cannot see who is he/she. You will only see an increased total screenshot number.

As we mentioned above, full screenshot tracking of Public Story is unavailable, but you can still view limited, valid screenshot data on your public Snapchat Story.

Trinn 1. Open Snapchat and tap your profile button.

Trinn 2. Select your target public story and open the content page.

Trinn 3. Swipe up to see the viewer list. Usernames marked with double-arrow icons are friends who screenshotted your story.

Trinn 4. Open Public Profile Insights, and you will see the total screenshot count.

Why Can't You See Who Screenshotted Your Public Snapchat Story

Snapchat protects the privacy of non-friends who view your Public Story. Unlike private Stories that are only visible to added friends you know, Public Stories are open to any other Snapchat user on the platform. If the app showed you every username that took a screenshot, it would compromise those users' privacy, which does not align with Snapchat's privacy policy.
