Snapchat is no doubt a favorite among all snap addicts and photo lovers and one primary reason for loving this amazing platform is the security that it promises. Snapchat was the first platform that made it big by featuring the “story” section and it has only gained more popularity since then. No doubt Snapchat has also been coming up with some amazing upgrades like live location maps and group video calls. However, the most prominent feature of the app, other than the filters that it offers, is security.
Snapchat is designed to protect your privacy and give you full control over who can view your stories or for how long. Any story that you post will be deleted after 24 hours and if someone tries to screenshot it, Snapchat will notify you immediately. The end-to-end encryption policy also adheres to personal chats and you are notified if someone saves your chat or screenshots it. However, sometimes all these security features can backfire on us, especially if you are someone who likes to stalk others.
Maybe you want to stalk your crush or see what your ex is up to or just want to see what your friend has posted without them knowing you viewed their story since you are fighting with them. So, how do you accomplish this with Snapchat snitching them all about you being a stalker? Well, although the security policies of Snapchat as strong, there are a few loopholes to get around them. We have compiled some of the best Snapchat story viewer hacks and external apps that can help you use Snapchat to spy like a pro.
Viewing Snapchat Stories Anonymously:
There are some ways that you can bypass Snapchat’s detection mechanism and view someone’s story anonymously.
- Airplane Mode:
Did you know you can use your phone’s airplane mode to view a story anonymously? Well, it is one of the easiest and most simple ways to stalk what your friends are up to. Just open Snapchat and update the stories of everyone by swiping down while your phone is connected to the internet. After all the stories are loaded, close Snapchat and go to your phone’s settings. Turn on the airplane mood which will automatically turn off your network, Wi-F, and mobile data. Now, open Snapchat and view the story you want to for as long as you want.
After you have viewed the story, go to the setting in Snapchat and clear out all the cached data. Now close Snapchat and turn off airplane mode and voila! You just viewed the story anonymously.
2. Create Another Snapchat Account:
This is another great but it has some limitations. If you want to view someone’s story anonymously then you can create another account with an anonymous name or some other name to do so. But this hack will only be successful if they accept your friend request and that might be a little hard since people avoid adding strangers.
Using Third-Party Apps:
If you are looking for some ways to view other’s stories aside from these hacks then we also have a few other alternatives. These ways include using third-party apps to spy on people on social media platforms. All you have to do is download these apps and register on them. Although the methods are not that complicated, it is still recommended that you use the 2 hacks given above rather than these ones.
These apps can come in handy if you are a parent or a guardian who wants to keep track of your ward’s activities on social media platforms.
Some of the most common third-party apps that you can use for not only spying on someone on Snapchat but other social media platforms include FlexiSpy, Spyzie, mSpy, and Cocospy.
- FlexiSpy:
