Taking screenshots (or screen recordings) of what you see on Instagram, or any other social media platform may be a strong temptation. Do they have any idea that you took a screenshot of their post or story? And what if someone took a screenshot of your post or story, will you get to know? Show
 Does Instagram Notify When You Screenshot a Story, Post, or Message?You get to see many things on Instagram that you want to screenshot. But in certain cases, you get skeptical about the owner getting the notification of screenshots. So, you should know the reality. So, let’s have one by one discussion on it. 1. Notification for screenshots of Photo or Video PostRegular Photo or Video posts from your friends or different influencers that you see on your feed or explore page are completely safe from screenshot notification. That means you can screenshot the photo or video post of anyone without letting them know. Along with screenshots, videos screen recording can also be done with video posts. They’ll never know that you can take a screen recording of their video. 2. Notification for screenshots of StoriesSome years back, Instagram tried to roll out a new feature under which you’ll get notifications of your story being screenshotted. In February 2018, the feature was discovered. By the end of June, it was rolled back. For the past few years, Instagram users have been allowed to take screenshots or screen recordings of other people’s stories without them knowing. 3. Only Exception – Instagram notifies if you take a screenshot of a disappearing photo or video in a DM chatIf somebody has sent you a disappearing photo on DM chat, you can’t screenshot that without letting them know. They’ll instantly get a notification that you have taken a screenshot of that disappearing photo or video. The only way that you can save that disappearing photo or video is by pointing another phone’s camera at your phone’s screen. Taking a screenshot of an Instagram disappearing photo or video in a DM discussion will alert the other party, so do it only if you’re OK with the other party knowing. The general rule of Instagram is that you’ll not get notifications of any kind of screenshot taken by any other user. The only exception is that of disappearing photos or videos. So, you can take screenshots of almost everything except disappearing photos or videos. I hope this article helped you.
Instagram gives its users a way to review who takes screenshots of the photos and videos they share, but it's not available everywhere in the app. Instagram users may sometimes find the desire to screenshot a post or story shared by someone, but might be worried about the other user being notified. Most Instagram users who screenshot content on the app would rather do it discreetly without the original poster knowing. The idea of someone potentially discovering that their content — some of it designed to go away after 24 hours — has been captured for saving and future perusal can be awkward and rather embarrassing. This concern is not uncommon. It is most likely brought on by the fact that Snapchat is widely known to have the feature that lets users check who screenshots their posts. Since Instagram's Story feature is very similar to the way Snapchat works, users might be wondering if reviewing screenshots is possible on the photo-sharing app. Instagram first started testing the feature that alerted users of screenshot activity in stories in February 2018, but officially ended the rollout in June 2018. Now, people can only tell who has seen their Instagram stories and the number of times users have viewed videos and Reels. However, Instagram currently doesn't inform users when screenshots are taken of their stories. There is also no way of tracking who screenshots posts that appear on the main Instagram feed. Screenshot Notifications Inside DMs People who may want screenshot notifications to be on Instagram for security purposes may be disappointed by this lack of the feature in the app. But the good news is it does exist elsewhere on the platform, specifically in Instagram direct messages (DM), both in one-on-one and group conversations. Taking a screenshot of text conversations within the Messages folder does not trigger a notification on the other person's Instagram account. However, the same cannot be said for disappearing photos or videos sent via DM. To take a disappearing Instagram photo or video, open a DM thread in the Messages inbox and tap the camera icon on the bottom-left corner of the page. After capturing the photo or video, choose either 'View Once' or 'Allow Replay' from the time limit options below before hitting 'Send'. When the recipient of a disappearing photo or video takes a screenshot, a starburst icon will appear next to the captured media. Users can also see the exact time the screenshot was taken by long-pressing on the photo or video and tapping 'Details'. For group DMs, 'Details' will let a user know which among the recipients took a screenshot. This is primarily a safety feature to ensure potentially sensitive content shared on Instagram isn't misused. Next: What Is Instagram's Favorites Feed & How Do You Use It? Source: Instagram 1, 2 |
