Instagram does not notify someone if you screenshot regular DMs, stories, posts, or reels. But if you screenshot a disappearing photo or video sent in a DM, or a message in Vanish Mode, the sender will get a notification. So as long as you’re not capturing temporary messages, you can screenshot without the other person knowing.
No, Instagram doesn't notify users when you screenshot their direct messages (DMs), unless you're capturing a disappearing photo or video sent through Instagram's camera or using Vanish Mode. In these cases, the sender will be alerted if you take a screenshot .
For regular text messages or media saved to the chat, you can screenshot without the sender knowing.
