What Do Other Snapchatters Mean on Snapchat?

The term “Other Snapchatters” on Snapchat means that the users aren’t your friend on the app. Even if you’ve previously added them as friends, they may have unfriended you.

These people view your story, but they don’t follow you on the app or aren’t your friend. It could also be friends that have blocked you.

The “Other Snapchatters” title groups users that viewed your Snapchat story but don’t follow you, not your friend on the app, or users who might just come across your story if it’s public.

An example will be that: I posted a story on Snapchat, and my friend name; John, views the story, his username will be at the top.

If John unfriends or blocked me on the Snapchat app, or I unfriend John, and John views my story because it’s set to Public, John’s username will be under the “Other Snapchatters” title.

If John then decides to add me as a friend again and I’ve accepted from Added Me page, his username will not show under “Other Snapchatters.”

Reasons Why Some Users Appear Under Other Snapchatters

Here are the reasons why you keep seeing people’s names in the “Other Snapchatters” section on your Snapchat Story.

Reason 1: The Snapchatter Is Not Your Friend

If you’re getting a user under the Other Snapchatters title on your story, it’s because the person is not your friend on the app.

Snapchat confirmed this in 2017 on Twitter. If a person that isn’t your friend on Snapchat view your story, their name will be available under “Other Snapchatters”.

These can only happen if you’ve set the Snapchat story to the public for everyone to see. If it’s on Friends Only, they’ll not be able to see your story on the app.

Reason 2: The Snapchatter Has Unfriend You

Another reason you’re seeing a person Under “Other Snapchatters” is because they’ve unfriended you on the app.

Once you’ve been removed from their list, and still view your story you’ll see their name under Other Snapchatters.

This can happen both ways if you both were friends on Snapchat before, and you removed them as a friend or they did the same.

And later they were able to view your Snapchat story because it’s set to public, and their username name will be shown under “Other Snapchatters.”

REASON 3: The Snapchatter Has Blocked You

This is just like if someone has unfriended you. It’s pretty much the same, and the person will be shown under “Other Snapchatters” if they’ve blocked you.

If a user blocked you on the app, you were previously friends on Snapchat, but for some reason, you were blocked and now you see their name under “Other Snapchatters.”

They’ll not be listed on their normal Story viewer until they’ve unblocked you and remain your friend on the app. If not they’ll continue to be in the “Others” category.
