Grow your community

Snapchat makes it easy for you to engage with and understand your followers.

Story Replies and Quoting

All Snapchatters that follow you, including your friends, will be able to swipe up while viewing your public Story and send you a reply! To keep our community safe, we automatically filter out spammy and abusive messages. 

To view Story Replies:

  1. Tap on your public Story Snap

  2. Swipe up to view Insights and Replies

  3. Tap on a reply to see the full message and reply back


Quoting makes it easier to share a follower’s reply to your Public Story with a Snap. Ask your audience to send you questions and answer away! Quote fans to show your appreciation for them and let your followers know that you read their replies.


More information on Story Replies and Quoting can be found here.
