Instagram does not alert users that you have taken a ScreenShot of their Stories, Posts, Reels, or Profiles.
The only exception is the disappearing photos/videos or messages in Vanish Mode in the Direct Messages (DMs). In such particular instances, the sender will receive information that a screenshot was obtained.

Yes! Instagram generally does not notify users when you screenshot regular posts or feed content. However, it does alert if you screenshot a disappearing photo or video sent in Direct Messages. So, for most content, your privacy is safe, but be careful with disappearing messages!

No, Instagram doesn’t notify users when you take a screenshot of regular posts or feed content. The only time it sends a notification is when you screenshot a disappearing photo or video sent in a direct message. So for stories, posts, and chats, your screenshots are safe and private.
No Instagram does not notify people when you screenshot posts, Stories, Reels, profiles, or regular DMs.
The only time Instagram will send a screenshot alert is if you capture a disappearing photo/video (one-time view) or something in Vanish Mode in Direct Messages. (Instagram Help Center)
Also avoid third-party “screenshot notifier” apps — they’re unreliable and can be unsafe.
