The easy steps to view someone story without notifying them are:

  • Swipe left to the section of Snapchat stories.
  • Refresh it to see the latest Snapchat stories.
  • Turn off your mobile data or Wi-fi connection.
  • View the story of whomsoever you wish to.
  • Your story view count will only be stored in the app cache.
  • Since the internet is off, it will be directly sent to the server.
  • You should not enable the mobile data or the wifi for the next 24 hrs or else your name will appear on the list of viewers.

Alternate Method

Click on the one you want to see and wait for it to load. After this, you can put your phone on airplane mode for 2 minutes or so and then view the story without notifying them.

Now your view has been recorded but not sent to the server because you are not connected to the internet. But, your view will be sent to the server the moment you switch off the airplane mode. To prevent this, you must keep your phone on airplane mode only.

Go to settings > installed app > click Snapchat. You will see a Clear Cache and Data option at the bottom. Click on it! Your app cache is gone as well as your recorded view! You can now easily switch off the airplane mode and enjoy Snapchat as before.

2. For iPhone

For all iPhone users, you need to uninstall the app and that will ultimately clear all the app data. You can install it again and continue using Snapchat as smoothly as before.
