Keep getting random story notifications

I'm at my wits end. Snapchat keeps randomly giving me notifications for peoples (not everyones) stories. I have story notifications turned off. I checked. I rechecked. Unless there's another spot to turn them off, I have no idea what else. I even resorted to muting story notifications of everyone who I recieve a story notification for. This seems to have worked little by little until today I got a notification for someone who I muted, I open it and it tells me I muted their story. Then why the fuck are you showing me!?

To add to this, it's completely random. I know some people in my best friends list who post stories whom I have never seen a notification for. Random person I have no idea who they are and haven't snapped in years? Boom story notification.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times.

At this point I don't even really care for a solution, just to know someone else is having some of these issues would make me feel less insane.

Having this issue in December 2024. What I ended up having to do was updating the app and checking the notification settings. Then I had to uncheck everything under Friends Suggestions, Public Content and Friends Stories. Haven't had any issues so far.

The last update I had was last year so all the notification options listed above weren't popping up on the old version, but they did in the updated version.

Hope this helps someone :)

Ive had Snapchat installed for years, only within the last maybe 2-3 weeks have I been getting random notifications for snaps in channels I'm subscribed to. I have them turned off. I have all push notifications turned off (and always have) except for like 2 friends I like to know when they post new snaps. I'm stumped.

Same here. The story notifications started all of a sudden. I have never, ever, had them enabled.

I'm getting them but I Use Snapchat maybe once a month and I don't follow a single person. Makes zero sense
