To see who has viewed your Facebook Story, including "other viewers" who are not your friends, follow these steps:
- Open the Facebook app and tap on your story at the top of your news feed.
- Swipe up on the story or tap the viewers icon (usually an eye symbol) at the bottom left corner. This will show a list of people who have viewed your story.
- In the viewers list, you will see the names of your friends or followers who viewed your story. At the bottom of this list, there may be a section labeled "Others" with a number next to it. These "Others" are people who viewed your story but are not your Facebook friends or followers, or who have privacy settings that prevent their names from being shown
If your story's privacy is set to "Public," anyone on Facebook can view it, which is why you might see "Other viewers" who are not your friends. You cannot see the exact names of these other viewers due to Facebook's privacy policies
. To control who can see your story and potentially limit "Other viewers":
- Go to Facebook Settings & Privacy > Settings > Stories (under Audience and Visibility).
- Adjust your story privacy settings from "Public" to "Friends" or "Specific Friends" to restrict who can view your story
In summary, you can see the names of friends who viewed your story, but "Other viewers" will only show as a count without names if they are not your friends or have privacy restrictions. Adjusting your story privacy settings can help manage who views your stories
