Have you ever been bombarded with notifications on Snapchat about people’s stories? It can be quite overwhelming, especially if you follow a lot of people. Personally, I found myself constantly interrupted by these notifications, and it was affecting my productivity and peace of mind. After some trial and error, I’ve discovered a few methods to stop getting Snapchat story notifications completely. In this article, I will walk you through the process step by step.
Method 1: Turning off Notifications from Specific Users
If there are certain users whose stories you don’t want to receive notifications for, you can easily mute their notifications individually. Here’s how:
- Open Snapchat and go to the Chats screen.
- Find the user whose notifications you want to mute.
- Swipe right on their name to access the Chat settings.
- Tap on the “More” button (the three vertical dots).
- Select “Mute Story Notifications” from the menu.
By muting the story notifications for a specific user, you won’t be bothered by their updates anymore. However, keep in mind that you will still be able to view their stories if you actively go to the Discover screen.
Method 2: Disabling All Story Notifications
If you prefer to have a completely notification-free experience when it comes to Snapchat stories, you can disable all story notifications. Here’s how:
- Open Snapchat and go to your profile.
- Tap on the settings icon (the gear icon) in the top right corner.
- Scroll down and select “Notifications.”
- Under the “Who Can…” section, tap on “View My Story.”
- Select “No One” to disable story notifications for all users.
By choosing “No One” under the “View My Story” settings, you won’t receive any story notifications from anyone on Snapchat. This is a great option if you want to take a break from constantly checking the app and focus on other things.
Method 3: Customizing Story Notifications
If you want more control over your Snapchat story notifications, you can customize them to suit your preferences. Here’s how:
- Open Snapchat and go to your profile.
- Tap on the settings icon (the gear icon) in the top right corner.
- Scroll down and select “Notifications.”
- Under the “Who Can…” section, tap on “View My Story.”
- Select “Custom” to customize your story notifications.
When you choose the “Custom” option, you can individually select which users you want to receive story notifications from. This way, you can filter out the users whose stories you don’t want to be notified about, while still staying updated on the ones you’re interested in.
It’s important to note that even if you customize your story notifications, you will still see the stories of all users if you actively go to the Discover screen.
Conclusion
Getting rid of Snapchat story notifications can greatly improve your overall Snapchat experience. Whether you choose to mute notifications from specific users, disable all story notifications, or customize them to your liking, the choice is yours. Experiment with different methods and find what works best for you.
Remember, taking control of your notifications can help you stay focused and reduce distractions. Enjoy a more peaceful Snapchat experience!
