Short answer: no. Snapchat does not show you who views your profile, and it never has. There is no viewer list for profiles, no "profile visits" counter for regular accounts, and no setting you can turn on to reveal it. The same applies in reverse: when you open someone else's profile, they are not told.
That said, Snapchat does track some views, just not profile views. People mix these up constantly, so here is the full breakdown.
What Snapchat actually shows you
| Action | Can the owner see who did it? |
|---|---|
| Visiting a profile | No |
| Viewing a friend's story | Yes - your name appears on their viewer list for 24 hours |
| Viewing a public story via the app | Yes - same viewer list, plus a view counter |
| Watching a Spotlight video | No names - the creator only sees a total view count |
| Looking at a profile picture or Bitmoji | No |
| Searching for a username | No |
So the only place your name ever shows up is the story viewer list. Everything else - profile visits, searches, scrolling someone's public page - is invisible to the account owner.
What about public profiles and subscriber counts?
Creators with a public profile get aggregate numbers: total story views, subscriber count, and audience stats. Those are counters, not lists. A creator can see that 4,000 people watched their story, but for non-friend viewers Snapchat shows a number, not a roll call of usernames. You can check what a public profile exposes yourself with our Snapchat profile viewer - everything on that page is what the whole internet can see.
Does Snapchat+ show profile views?
No. Snapchat+ (the paid tier) adds a story rewatch indicator - it tells you how many people rewatched your story, and "Friends Again" style insights - but it does not add profile view tracking. Any TikTok video claiming Snapchat+ shows who stalked your profile is wrong. Snap has been explicit that profile views are not tracked for any tier.
"Profile viewer" apps are scams. All of them.
Search any app store for "Snapchat profile viewer" and you'll find apps promising to reveal who viewed your profile. Every single one is fake, for a simple technical reason: Snapchat does not collect this data, so there is nothing for an app to fetch. These apps exist to harvest your login (giving a stranger your Snapchat password), push subscriptions, or load you with ads. Some have gotten accounts banned for credential sharing. We wrote more about this in are Snapchat story viewer apps safe.
Can you view someone's profile without them knowing?
Yes - because profile views are not tracked, opening a profile is already invisible. If the account has a public profile, you don't even need the app or an account: a web tool like our anonymous story viewer reads the public page Snapchat already publishes, so you can check a profile and watch public stories without appearing anywhere. The one thing that does record your name is opening a story while logged into the app, and that's covered in how to watch Snapchat stories anonymously.
Bottom line
Profile views on Snapchat are untracked, in both directions. The viewer list only exists for stories, Snapchat+ doesn't change that, and any app claiming otherwise is selling you something. If you want a number to watch, the closest real metric is your story view count - the profile itself stays private by design.
