You cannot see exactly who views your public profile on Snapchat.

Quick Scoop

Snapchat keeps profile visits anonymous, even for public profiles.

  • You cannot see a list of people who have:
    • Opened your public profile.
    • Checked your bio, highlights, or saved public profile content.
  • The owner of a public profile only gets:
    • Total follower count and general engagement stats.
    • Story views and who viewed specific stories (not who tapped the profile itself).
  • The person you’re viewing:
    • Does not get a notification that you visited their public profile.
    • Only sees you if you interact (view/like/reply to their public Story, add them, or message them).

In forum-style discussions, most users agree that “profile stalking” on Snapchat is basically invisible unless you leave a trace through stories, replies, or adds.

What you can see instead

If you have a public profile, you can still track engagement in other ways.

1. Story viewers (not profile viewers)

You can see who viewed a specific Story , not who opened your profile page.

  • Post a Story from your account (public or friends-only).
  • Open that Story and swipe up:
    • You’ll see:
      • The number of views.
      • Usernames of people who watched it.
      • Screenshot indicators next to names if someone captured it.
  • This shows story engagement , not silent profile visits.

2. Public profile insights and analytics

For public profiles, Snapchat offers basic analytics.

You may see things like:

  • Total Story views.
  • Audience demographics (age, gender, location ranges).
  • Story completion rate and average view time.

These are aggregated metrics , so you still don’t see a “who viewed your public profile” list.

Latest news & “tricks” claims

Because this is a trending topic, new posts and videos keep claiming there’s a hidden way to see profile viewers.

Common patterns:

  • Some tutorials show:
    • How to open “Insights,” public stories, or replies.
    • How to use engagement as a proxy (e.g., people who liked/commented probably visited your profile).
  • Third-party apps or “trackers” often promise:
    • To reveal who views your profile.
    • Extra spying features like “secret viewer lists.”

But:

  • These apps cannot break Snapchat’s privacy rules to show real profile-view lists.
  • Many are privacy risks, can violate Snapchat’s Terms of Service, or try to harvest your data.

Simple table: what others can see

Here’s a quick view of what’s visible and what’s not:

[10][1] [3][9][1] [9] [3] [1] [1]
Action Can they see you? How it shows up
You just view their public profile page No No notification, no viewer list for profile hits.
You view their public Story Yes Your name appears in the Story viewers list when they swipe up.
You like/reply to a public Story Yes Your interaction and reply are visible to them in Insights/Replies.
You screenshot their Story Yes Screenshot marker appears next to your name in the viewers list.
You add them as a friend Yes They get an add notification and can see your profile in their adds.
You send them a Snap or chat Yes They see your message directly with opened/seen indicators.

Why Snapchat does this

Snapchat leans heavily toward privacy and low-pressure interactions.

  • Hiding profile-view lists reduces:
    • Stalking-style obsession over who’s checking whom.
    • Social anxiety about “who looked but didn’t add me.”
  • Instead, the platform emphasizes:
    • Temporary content (Stories, Snaps).
    • Visible interactions only when you actually engage (views, replies, adds).

Practical tips for you

If you’re worried about people checking you out, or you’re just curious about your reach, here’s what you can do:

  1. Adjust your privacy settings.
    • Set “View My Story” to Friends Only or a custom list if you don’t want strangers watching.
  1. Limit discoverability.
    • Turn off “See me in Quick Add” to reduce random adds.
  1. Watch engagement, not profile hits.
    • Focus on Story views, replies, and followers as your real audience signals.
  1. Avoid third-party “viewer tracker” apps.
    • They’re unreliable and can be risky for your account and data.

Bottom line: you can track who watches your content, but not who quietly visits your public profile page itself.

TL;DR:

  • You cannot see who views your public profile on Snapchat.
  • You can see who views and replies to your public Stories and how many people engage overall.
  • Any app or “hack” claiming to reveal full profile-viewer lists is misleading and potentially unsafe.
