How To Turn Off Snapchat Story Notifications

Method 1: Turn Off Snapchat Story Notifications for Everyone

Let’s say you wish to detox yourself from social media or, like me, you don’t care much about stories anyway. Then, Snapchat has an option to turn off all story notifications completely. This way, you won’t be alerted for any stories your friends post on the app. These are the steps to access it.
This way, you can ensure that Snapchat won’t disturb you about any stories posted in your circle.

Method 2: Turn Off Snapchat for Individual Friends

Probably you don’t want to disable all stories, just from that one over-sharing friend who shares a life update every hour or so in their Snapchat story. Or maybe you want to give silent treatment to someone and don’t want to know when they shared a story. In those cases, you can disable story notifications for individuals from the app. Here’s how you can do it.

Method 3: Mute Story Alerts using Android Settings

This method is exclusively available on Android. You can turn off story alerts from Snapchat using Android’s notification categories. With this, you can mute story notifications, even if all the options are toggled on within the app, just in case you don’t want any of your friends to get suspicious. On OnePlus or other devices, the steps are a bit different.
That’s how you can mute those pesky story notifications on Snapchat. You can always put your phone in silent if you are busy and don’t want to be bothered now but love to check out said stories later on. If you wish to be alerted with a different tone, here’s a guide that lets you change Snapchat Notification sound.
