How does Snapchat choose who is in cameo stories?

Answered by Tom Adger

Snapchat does not explicitly choose who is in cameo stories. Instead, it allows users to control who can feature them in their Cameos. This gives users the power to determine who can use their selfie in the app’s animated videos.

To manage your cameo settings, follow these steps:

1. Open Snapchat and go to your profile by tapping on your Bitmoji icon in the top left corner of the camera screen.
2. Once you’re on your profile page, click on the settings icon in the top right corner. It looks like a gear or a cogwheel.
3. Scroll down until you find the “Who Can” section. This is where you can adjust your cameo settings.
4. To enable cameo features for everyone, click on “Use my Cameos Selfie” and select the “Everyone” option. By doing this, anyone on Snapchat can use your selfie in their Cameos.
5. If you only want your friends to be able to feature you in their Cameos, choose the “My Friends” option. This restricts cameo usage to only those in your friends list.
6. If you prefer to keep your selfie entirely private and not be featured in anyone’s Cameos, select the “Only Me” option. This disables two-person Cameos altogether.
7. Once you’ve made your selection, Snapchat will save your settings automatically.

It’s important to note that Snapchat’s cameo settings give you control over who can feature you in their videos, but Snapchat itself doesn’t actively select or choose who appears in cameo stories. The decision is left up to individual users based on their settings and preferences.

Remember to review and update your cameo settings periodically to ensure they align with your desired level of privacy and interaction on the app.
