I need pictures for my Tripvert task of an influencer. Can screenshotting works on Instagram stories? They are more appealing stories than posts, so thers's no other way to get the pictures.

Yes, you can screenshot Instagram Stories in 2025, and the user will not be notified. Instagram does not alert users when someone takes a screenshot of their story, unlike disappearing photos or videos in direct messages.

Yes, you can still screenshot Instagram Stories in 2025. When you take a screenshot of someone’s Story, Instagram does not notify the user. This applies to regular photo and video Stories, whether they are from personal accounts or public profiles. However, keep in mind that Instagram does notify users if you screenshot disappearing photos or videos sent via Direct Messages (DMs). So, while it's safe to capture public Stories without alerting the creator, always respect privacy and use screenshots responsibly. Instagram's features may evolve, so it’s a good idea to check their latest privacy policies periodically.

Yes, you can still take screenshots of Instagram Stories in 2025, just like before. Instagram does not notify the user if you screenshot their story, so it's completely private. However, always be respectful—just because it’s technically allowed doesn’t mean it’s always the right thing to do.

Yes, It is possible to take screenshot Instagram Stories in 2025 and the user will remain unaware. Taking a screenshot of someone's story on Instagram will not notify the account owner, unlike direct messages where such a screenshot does alert the writer.
