A signal is not a surveillance tool

Why the most useful privacy guide explains what a product cannot reveal.

Start with purpose

A viewer list can show the available names for your own Story; a count alone cannot identify every viewer. It cannot explain a stranger’s intent or produce a record of private messages.

Separate observations

Story, activity and location are different settings. Each has its own audience, timing and limits.

Use the safer next step

If a concern is about someone else, ask directly or use an official shared family feature rather than a covert “tracker.”
