Does Instagram Notify When You Screenshot a Story?
Instagram is one of the most used social media platforms. So, whenever we are browsing Instagram, seeing our friend’s stories and all, we took screenshots of their story. But after taking the screenshot, a question always comes up: Does Instagram notify when you screenshot a story? In today's article, I will give the answer of this question.
Does Instagram send a notification to the Account Holder when you Screenshot a story?
In short, the answer is No. Up to this date, Instagram does not notify the account holder of whose story you took a screenshot. This means you can take as many screenshots as you want, but you should follow the Community guidelines. It is possible that in the future Instagram can launch this feature when the account holders will be notified when someone took a screenshot of their story. But till now there is no such feature. But as the privacy laws’ scope is increasing day by day. So, for a better environment, Instagram can launch such a feature. In 2018, Instagram did roll out a feature that notify users when someone took a screenshot of their story, but the feature was quickly removed due to user backlash.
When does Instagram notify the Account Holder that you took the Screenshot?
So now it is clear that Instagram does not notify the creator that you took a screenshot of his story. But, in which cases Instagram notifies the account holder that you took a screenshot? Well, it is only in the case of disappearing DMS. If you screenshot the picture that is sent for viewing once, and you took a screenshot of that picture, then Instagram will notify that person that you took a screenshot.

Can I screenshot without any Notification?
Yes, it is possible. For that, turn on the flight mode of your device and then screenshot that picture which is sent only for viewing once. As, there is no Internet signal, so no notification will be sent to the sender.
You can also took a picture of that picture with another mobile, the quality may not be up to the mark, but no one can ever find that you have a picture of that picture.
