How to Adjust the Privacy Settings of Your Facebook Stories
You may not want everyone in your list to be able to view your Story. If that’s the case, then know that you can easily edit the privacy of your post from the Story creation screen.
1. Can others share my Stories on their own Stories?
They can, but you must enable the option to allow them to do so. On mobile, tap on the hamburger menu in the top-right corner in your feed, then “Settings & Privacy -> Settings” and find the “Audience and Visibility” section. Select “Stories” from there. Tap on the “Sharing Options” to bring up your choices.
Allow others to share your public stories to their own story?Allow people to share your stories if you mention them?
Enable one or both of these options, according to your preferences. On desktop, click on the downward arrow in the upper-right corner and select “Settings & Privacy-> Settings,” then select “Stories” from the menu on the left. Your “Story Settings” as described above should appear.
2. Can I save my Stories so I can keep track of them?
Yes, you can. It’s called Story archiving, and you can take advantage of this option via the mobile app. Once again, go to “Settings & Privacy -> Settings” and find “Audience and Visibility.” From there, select “Story archive” and make sure you toggle on the “Save to archive” button. This will save your Stories to your device. Alternatively, once you’ve posted the Story, open it and tap on the three-dots in the upper right corner of the display and select “Save photo/video.” You can also select “Archive photo/video,” but that will have the effect of immediately removing the content and saving it to archive.
3. Can I mute someone else’s Story?
Yes, it’s possible. Find and open a Story you wish to mute, then tap on the three dots in the upper-right corner and select “Mute X’s Story.” You won’t see any more updates to their Story on Facebook.
