Snapchat stories are a way of letting your friends know just how much fun you're having — without actually sharing it directly with them. It's all fun and casual until someone you don't like, like an ex or boss, also takes a peek at your life. Sure, you can remove them, or you can take a more mature route and just block them from seeing your stories. This way, it's less awkward and makes your personal life just a tiny bit more private. Follow our steps to make sure you do it the right way and then find out what else you can do with Snapchat.

First, head to your Snapchat profile.

To get here, open up the app, and tap the white ghost at the top. You'll see this dark screen. Tap on the gear icon at the top right corner.

In your settings, scroll down to the Who Can . . . section.

Here, tap on the View My Story section.

On this screen, tap the Custom option.

Now you can pick and choose who can see your story.

Tap on the box next to their name and a red X will appear to signify that they can't see your story. Once you're done, tap the back button and your settings will be saved. That was easy enough, right?
