Other users can react or reply directly to your story and even share it. If you’ve turned on read receipts for messages, you can also see which user viewed your story.

If you are sure you never use stories, you can also disable the function. Then the option is no longer displayed in camera mode. Go to settings egswap stories there out. If you’ve turned off Stories, you can no longer see matching content from other contacts.
