Smooth and symplectic symmetries of an infinite family of distinct exotic $K3$ surfaces are studied, and comparison with the corresponding symmetries of the standard $K3$ is made. The action on the $K3$ lattice induced by a smooth finite group action is shown to be strongly restricted, and as a result, nonsmoothability of actions induced by a holomorphic automorphism of a prime order $\geq 7$ is proved and nonexistence of smooth actions by several $K3$ groups is established (included among which is the binary tetrahedral group $T_{24}$ which has the smallest order). Concerning symplectic symmetries, the fixed-point set structure of a symplectic cyclic action of a prime order $\geq 5$ is explicitly determined, provided that the action is homologically nontrivial.
