Now it’s time to make your story unique! You can give your private story a cool name that only you and your chosen friends will see. You can also decide if you want your friends to add their own snaps to your story. If you want extra privacy, you can set a timer for how long your story will be visible or use location filters to control who can see it based on where they are.
