Many Snapchatters on Reddit are asking the same question. In this article, I will tell you what the term ‘other Snapchatters’ means on Snapchat Story. So come along!
Snapchat is known for its no-strings-attached policy, and with its disappearing messages feature and unique Snaps, it’s Gen Z’s favorite social media platform. The Snap story feature is a good addition, but there is something about Snap story viewers that is confusing users – the Other Snapchatters column.
So, what does Other Snapchatters mean on Snapchat Story? Without further ado, let’s jump into the article and learn all about other Snapchatters!

What Does ‘Other Snapchatters’ Mean on Snapchat Story?
A Twitter user @a_mcdx posted a query tagging Snapchat Support in 2017, asking, “What does “other snap chatters” mean on story view @snapchatsupport thx”
In reply to this, Snapchat Support writes, “Hi! These are Snapchatters who you haven’t added.”
So, as clarified by the Snapchat team, the Other Snapchatters section under the story view contains the names of those Snapchatters who have viewed your story but are not your followers.
Here are all the reasons for seeing Other Snapchatters under your Snapchat story:
- People who viewed your Story but don’t follow you (public story only),
- Snapchatters who have unfriended or blocked you.
- It’s a temporary glitch.
1. Snapchat Users Who Don’t Follow You
The Other Snapchatters section under the story view contains the names of those Snapchatters who have viewed your story but are not your followers.
Note that this is the case of a public story only, so if you have posted a private story and found the Other Snapchatters section under ‘Story View,’ these are the friends who have unfriended you.
2. Your Followers Who Unfriended or Blocked You
In most cases, users with public Snapchat stories find the Other Snapchatter tags under some names in their story view. However, some Snapchat users are complaining that though their story privacy is on friends only, they are still finding the Other Snapchatter section under the story view.
3. It’s a Temporary Glitch
If you don’t have a public story and feel like no one unfriended or blocked you, it is probably a temporary glitch causing the Other Snapchatters section to appear under your story.
Why Did Snapchat List Someone Under “Other Snapchatters?
Snapchat lists some of your story viewers as Other Snapchtters because they are the ones who are not your friends on Snapchat. This means they are either the people who aren’t following you but are peeping into your stories or the ones who have unfriended or blocked you after viewing your story.
So, it can be said that to distinguish friends from nonfriends, Snapchat added a new section of Other Snapchatters under Story view.
How to Stop “Other Snapchatters” from Viewing Your Snapchat Story?
The only way to stop the “Other Snapchatters” from viewing your Snapchat story is by making your stories private. To make your Snapchat story private, you need to follow the steps stated below:
Step 1: Open the Snapchat app.
Step 2: Tap on your Bitmoji in the top left corner.
Step 3: Tap on the Settings icon in the top right corner.
Step 4: Scroll down to Privacy Control.
Step 5: Under Privacy Control, tap on View My Story.
Step 6: Select the Friends Only option.
And that is how you can stop “Other Snapchatters” from viewing your Snapchat story by changing your privacy settings.
Why is My Friend an “Other Snap Chatter?”
If any of your friend’s name is showing under the Other Snapchatters section and you are 100% sure that friend hasn’t blocked you or unfriended you, it is most likely a glitch. Many Reddit users have confirmed this and claimed that their Best friends’ names are showing under the Other Snaphatters section.
As one user writes, “My friend is coming up as “other Snapchatters” on my story. They’re still my friend, I can see their score, I can send them snaps, I can sharing my location, etc. I know them in person, and they can confirm they have not unfriended me either.”
In such a situation where yout friend is coming as “Other Snapchatter”, it is most likely a Snapchat glitch and will resolve itself.
Who Comes Under the ‘Other Snapchatters’ List?
The Other Snapchatters viewing story column under the story view has confused many, and who comes under the “Other Snapchatters” list is a question that comes to mind. To help you understand who can come under the Other Snapchatters list, I have categorized those who come under this list into three categories:
1. Someone You Haven’t Added Back on Snapchat
If you have a public Snapchat account, then the users under the Other Snapchatters section are the ones who have sent you friend requests, but you haven’t added them yet.
So, if you find Other Snapchatter written under someone’s name in the story view section, you can check for them in the Add Friends section. If they have already added you as a friend and sent your friend request, their name will appear in the Added Me section. You can add them from there if you wish to.
2. Someone Who Has Removed You From Their Friend List
If you are finding Other Snapchatter written under the name of one of your friends, that could mean that they have unfollowed or removed you. So, if you feel like that couldn’t be the reason, check your friend list and make sure it isn’t some glitch.
If you want to confirm on your end whether they have unfriended you or not, you can try to look for their Snapscore. If you can still see their snap score, good, but if you cannot, it is evident that they have unfriended you.
3. Someone Who Has Blocked You
If someone has blocked you after watching your story, their name will also show with the Other Snapchatter tags. To confirm that, you can try to look for them in the search section. If you don’t find them, it is confirmed that the person has blocked you. Otherwise, you can try to send them some messages. If the message status shows pending, it confirms again that they have blocked you.
What Does Other Snapchatters + More Mean?
The +1 more under the Other Snappchatters section indicates a user who has blocked you after viewing your story. And as the person has blocked you on Snapchat, you cannot see their name. But the Other Snapchatters section contains names of users who haven’t followed you or unfriended you on Snapchat. You can see their name in the list but not the names under + more, as these are the people who have blocked you.
It is also believed that + More are those users who are not connected to you in any way; neither have they sent you a request, nor do you have mutual relations with them. However, there is no official statement that confirms what +1more means on Snapchat.
Wrapping Up
With this, I hope now you know what Other Snpachatters are: either people who don’t follow you but viewed your story, people who unfriended you, or it’s just a glitch. You can go ahead and change your story privacy now and get rid of those annoying Other Snapchatter tags under your story view as well.
