Can Instagram see screenshots of chats?

[Muskan]

I am not sure if my friend can see the screenshot notification I have taken of his chat. Can someone confirm me this?

No, Instagram does not notify users when you take a screenshot of chats or direct messages. However, if you take a screenshot of a disappearing photo or video (sent via Instagram Direct), the sender will be notified. Regular text chats, images, and videos are not tracked for screenshots.

Instagram does not notify when you screenshot regular posts, stories, profiles, or permanent DMs. The only exception is disappearing media—photos or videos sent in Direct Messages in Vanish Mode or as “view once” content. In those cases, Instagram will alert the sender

Screenshots of regular chats, posts, or stories are not notified on Instagram. However, when you make a screenshot of disappearing photos, videos, and Vanish Mode messages in DMs, the sender is informed. Screenshots are confidential to regular content, and messages give a disappearance notification to the sender. Use responsibly.

No, Instagram does not notify users if you take a screenshot of a regular chat. However, screenshots of disappearing photos/videos in Vanish Mode are flagged. Always check for updates, as policies may change.
