Answers to Your Questions about Snapchat Stories

We can’t answer all questions about Snapchat Stories, but we will try to address the most difficult.

Snapchat keeps switching between friends when I watch stories.

Snapchat’s auto-advance feature, which was introduced while users were watching stories, is the one that caused the most confusion.

Although the feature has been improved numerous times, it is still important to understand its basics.

• Snapchat allows you to move to the next story after watching the story.
• You can skip any story by simply swiping across your screen using your thumb.
• To stop AutoPay, pull down with your thumb on the screen. The main menu will be displayed again.

What are Campus Stories on Snapchat?

Snapchat Stories can be called Campus Stories. These stories have been created for select colleges and universities. You will be able to see them only if:

• Turn on your location services to use the app.
• You are currently on a college campus.
• You have visited a college campus in the past 24 hours.

This feature allows you to share your private information, but you should protect it just like any other public story. Snapchat has been criticized for “security risks.” As reported by Forbes, there are some legitimate concerns about Snapchat.

Campus Stories is available to you:

• Do not use full names.
• Do not show people your place of residence.
• It would help if you didn’t show anything you don’t want in a screenshot.
• Be aware that privacy is at risk.

It is better to be safe than sorry.
