Can Other Contacts in My List See Who I Have Mentioned in My Story?

If your story is public, all your contacts can see who you have mentioned in your Snapchat story. But only the mentioned friend will get a notification, not the others.

However, if you want you can also create a private story on Snapchat, just with your close friends. Only those friends in the private story will be able to see who you have mentioned.
