Can you see who viewed your Snapchat profile?
The short answer is no. Snapchat does not have a feature that lets you see who has viewed your profile or your snap story. This is a limitation of the app's design and is intended to protect users' privacy. Additionally, if someone sends you a direct snap or message, you will receive a notification.
Even though you cannot see who specifically viewed your profile or story, you can still see general statistics such as the number of views, screenshots, and replays of a story(Snapchat+ feature).
How to see who viewed your Snapchat story?
Snapchat has a feature that lets you see who has viewed your story. You can post stories that last for 24 hours, i.e. your friends on Snapchat can view that post for 24 hours, after that, they won't be able to see it.
You will get a notification if your friends post a story. Furthermore, once the Snapchat story is published, you can view the friend list of story viewers. Snapchat stories are one of the most important features of the Snapchat app.
These notifications will alert you when someone takes a screenshot of your story or when someone re-watches your story (Snapchat+ feature). To access this information, you can go to your profile page, tap on the three lines in the top left corner, and then select "My Story" from the menu.
Here, you will see a list of your stories and the number of views each story has received. Additionally, you can also see who has viewed each story by swiping up the story to reveal a list of users who have viewed it. Keep in mind that if a user has their privacy settings set to "Ghost Mode" you will not be able to see their username in the list of viewers.
Additionally, Snapchat uses a unique algorithm to determine who sees your story, known as “best friends”, which are the people you interact with the most. If a user is not considered a “best friend”, they may not see your story even if they have viewed your profile. The same applies when you watch people's stories and view their Snapchat profiles or view their Snapchat stories.
It's important to note that there are third-party Snapchat profile viewer apps that claim to be able to track who viewed your story, but they are not authorized by Snapchat, and they may not be accurate. So, it is not recommended to use them.
Pro Tip: You can open the snap maps and switch to the friend's tab to view stories from your friends and random people on the snap maps (if they've set their stories public)

Can I know if someone viewed your Snapchat story multiple times?
Snapchat does not provide a feature that allows users to see the number of times a specific Snapchat user has viewed their story. However, users can see a list of how many people (tap on the eye symbol) who have viewed their story and the order in which they viewed it.

To do this, you need to go to the Stories page, and then tap on the three vertical dots on the right side of the screen. From there, you will be able to see a list of people who have viewed your story, as well as the order in which they viewed it.
Lastly, you will not be able to see the exact number of times a person has viewed your story if you subscribe to a Snapchat+ subscription.

Will you get a notification when someone views your Snapchat profile?
Snapchat does not currently have an option that sends a notification when someone views your profile. However, you can check who has viewed your profile by going to your profile and looking at the list of people who have recently viewed it. The list is in the order of who viewed it most recently.
Keep in mind that this list is not always accurate and the user could have opened your profile by accident or just scroll by it. Also, Snapchat users have the option to control the privacy settings on Snapchat, so if you are unable to see the list of people who viewed your profile, it may be because the person who viewed your profile has this setting turned off.
