Can You See Who Screenshots Your Instagram Story

One of the most common questions about Instagram is whether the platform notifies users when someone takes a screenshot of their story.

The Short Answer

No, Instagram does not notify users when someone takes a screenshot of their story. This includes regular stories, highlights, and public profiles.

Exceptions

  • Instagram briefly tested notifications in 2018 but discontinued it
  • Disappearing photos and videos in DMs may trigger notifications
  • Third-party apps cannot change this behavior
