It doesn’t matter if you’ve been using Snapchat for years or just a couple of months, there are a lot of new things that keep coming out so we always have to learn. Users are facing difficulties in understanding the term “Other Snapchatters” when viewing their stories on Snapchat. So if you are in the same situation, scratching your head, don’t worry! Let’s not continue with the confusion and start with the article!
What does “Other Snapchats” mean on Snapchat?
So, jumping right into today’s agenda: what does “Other Snapchatters” mean on Snapchat? It’s basically an expression used to refer to Snapchat users who aren’t added to you but have seen your story. Your account may be public and therefore other Snapchat users can see your story.
However, the answer to the problem does not end here. There are many other questions that arise: has the other user blocked or removed you? Or can you find out who these “Other Snapchatters” are? Let’s find out.
There is also a chance that the other user has blocked you after viewing your story. And if that’s the case, it can make one hesitant to publish the story, right? But before you think too much, let’s make sure if the user blocked you after viewing your story. To do so, follow the methods below:
If you have doubts that the other person has blocked you, you can check it by looking for their name. Follow the steps given for the method:
- Open Snapchat and click on the Search icon.
- Type the username of the user you are looking for.
If following these steps the user’s profile does not appear, it is possible that you have been blocked.
Another way to know if you have been blocked is through your conversations or the online friendship status with the user. To do so, follow the steps below:
- Launch Snapchat and click on the chat icon at the bottom left of the screen.
- Now scroll down and find your chat history with the user.
If you can’t find your chat history with the user, then most likely the user has blocked you.
We have a last resort for you if the previous two have not worked for you. You can try sending them a message by entering their username. But, if you get the message that your message could not be transmitted, then the user may have blocked it.
And these were the steps to see and confirm whether you are blocked on Snapchat or not. If these methods did not work for you, you can try the solutions described later in the article.
If you’re friends with someone or have added them as a friend on Snapchat, their username will appear to your viewers when they view your story(s). However, if the username you were added with appears as “Another Snapchatter”, it could mean that you are no longer a friend on the platform. Here are two ways to break the sad news of whether or not you’re still added with the other user:
One way to find out if you are still added with the user is by going to your chats with him. To do so, follow the steps:
- Open Snapchat and tap on the Chats icon at the bottom left of the screen.
- Look for the user’s conversation in chats, and if it shows “Pending status,” with a gray arrow next to their name, they’ve been removed or are no longer friends with the user.
Another way to confirm or check if a user has deleted you on Snapchat is by visiting their profile on the app. For that, follow the given steps:
- Launch Snapchat and find the person’s username.
- Once the account appears, tap on your profile icon.
- Now, check if you can see your snap score (Snapchat score).
If you can’t see your Snapchat score and other information on the account, it means you’re no longer friends with the person on the app.
There’s another possible reason why you might be seeing users as “Other Snapchats” in your story views: you’re not added with them on Snapchat. It’s also possible that users have sent you requests, but you haven’t responded to them yet. So, with the help of the steps below, you can find out who these Snapchat users are and decide whether you want them on your account as friends or not.
- Open Snapchat and go to your profile icon.
- Tap My Story from the dropdown menu and scroll through the list of viewers.
- Now look at the list of viewers with “Other Snapchatters”.
- Once you see the users as “Other Snapchat Users”, click on their profiles and check them out.
If they don’t add with you, you can add them or just block them before things start to get weird.
How to prevent “other Snapchatters”?
“Other Snapchatters” will only be able to see your stories and other activity if your Snapchat account is public. If you’ve noticed that “Other Snapchatters” are viewing your story and this is bothering you, you can change your account’s Privacy Settings by following the steps below:
- Open Snapchat and go to your profile icon.
- Now click on the Settings icon at the top right of the screen.
- Go to the “Privacy Control” section and tap on “View My Story”.
- Click on “My friends”.
This way, you will be able to prevent people from watching or seeing your story.
Steps to make your Snapchat story private
Snapchat allows you to decide who can contact you on Snapchat based on your preferences, who can see your story, who can see your cameos, and who can see your location. You can also decide if you want your username to appear on the quick add list of other users.
It’s fairly easy to customize these options:
- Open Snapchat and click on your profile icon.
- Now tap on Settings at the top right corner of the screen.
- Scroll down and go to the “Who Can” section.
- Select “View My Story” and click “Friends Only.”
This way, you can make sure that no unknown and random accounts are infiltrating or stalking your content. However, if you don’t have a problem with your account being public, you can keep it as is. Be sure to remember that your audience can be made up of anyone in Settings set to Public.
“Other Snapchat users” and “+1 more”: here’s the difference
Snapchat shows you three types of viewers in total in the story viewers list: mutual friends, other Snapchat users, and +1 more. Mutual friends are the users who are added with you as friends on the platform.
Now, if you’re wondering about “Other Snapchatters” and “+1 More” and the difference between the two, we’ve got you. You may have already understood that “Other Snapchatters” refers to the users whose usernames are shown in the list of people who viewed your story. It consists of the users who have removed or blocked you. However, those in the “+ 1 more” category are not identifiable.
With the “+ 1 more” category, there is no connection, mutual or anything else in common, between the two of you. You are not on their friends list, nor are they on yours. Therefore, the term “+ 1 more” usually appears if your profile is public.
Although Snapchat couldn’t explain the actual reason behind the term “Other Snapchat users,” the only possible answer, for now, is that it refers to users who have removed or blocked you.
