If I Screenshot Someone’s Story, Does Instagram Notify When You Screenshot a Story?

[Liam Li]

I have always been curious about the privacy policies of Instagram, particularly the Instagram stories. When I screen shot a story of somebody, does instagram notify when you screenshot a story, or is this functionality missing? Other friends confirm that they had received the notice in the time gone by, others affirm that they did not receive it at all but as DM photos slowly disappear, it raises an alert. I only need to be certain before I end up disturbing somebody.

The only time it actually sends a notification is if you screenshot a disappearing photo or video inside a DM—like the ones you send using the camera icon that vanish after someone looks at them. Regular stories and even Close Friends stories don't trigger anything.
