Snapchat notifies users about the stories their friends post, but if you’d rather not receive these notifications, you can easily turn off Snapchat story notifications.
Snapchat is one of the most popular social media platforms out there, with millions of users going on the app every day to send messages, images, and other media to their friends, as well as to post stories.
Stories will be available on the uploader’s profile for 24 hours and may be available publicly, or only to you if the original poster has added you to their private story.
You may have found yourself receiving notifications from the app informing you that certain users have uploaded to their story. However, if these notifications are becoming bothersome, here’s how you can turn them off.
