Can Someone I am not Friends with See If I Viewed their Story?
When people other than your Facebook friends view your story, they will be counted as ‘Other Viewers’. So, the person whose story you viewed will not see your profile, but see you in numbers as ‘Other Viewer.’
What is the difference between a Post and a Story?
A post can be a photo, video, or text that you share with your friends on Facebook. They appear on the newsfeed of your Facebook friends. They will be there on your profile and do not disappear until you delete them. On the other hand, a Facebook story disappears itself after 24 hours. You can also use editing features like text, emoji, filters, etc, to make your story attractive.
