If your boss, family, or ex follows you on Snapchat, sharing certain personal moments on the app can feel awkward.

Never fear though, because you can easily block certain people from viewing your Story. And they won't even know that they've been blocked.

Here's how to do it.

First, open up Snapchat and tap the white ghost at the top of the main screen.

Next, hit the gear symbol at the top right, which is where your settings are located.

Under the menu called "Who Can ... " you can control your Story's privacy settings. Click "View My Story."

Snapchat defaults this preference to all of your friends, but you customize this. Tap "Custom."

The app then brings you to your friends list. To block specific people from seeing your Story, check off their names and red Xs will appear.

When you do that, your Story won't show up in their feeds. They won't be able to tell you blocked them from seeing your Story, and they'll still be able to message you like normal.
