Do you want your story to be invisible in front of some people? Maybe not to all, but perhaps to someone specific…

Being one of the top-notch social media platforms worldwide, Facebook introduced many features to users and one of them is surely Facebook Stories. You know by now, that these stories work like those on WhatsApp and Instagram and are deleted automatically after 24 hours.

By default, those stories are visible to all friends that a person has. But, what if we want those stories to stay but just not be approachable to some people?

Facebook enables you to hide your story from a specific person/s whenever they are checking them. Stay here if you want to learn how to hide stories from specific people.
