Does Instagram Notify When You Screenshot a Story?

No, it absolutely doesn’t notify it currently. There will be no alert or a sign that you screenshot someone’s Story, and you cannot see it if someone screenshot yours, too. You can hide your Story from certain people if you worry about someone screenshotting it without you knowing.

Plus, no one notices when you screenshot anything else on the platform, including posts, reels, captions, etc.

When Does a Screenshot Get Notified on Instagram?

Instagram screenshot notification happens when you screenshot a disappearing photo or video someone sends in your DMs. It sends an alert only if it is a disappearing content in DMs.

Instagram launched Vanish Mood in 2020, which is disappearing mode in DMs. Messages, photos, or videos that are seen disappear when you close the chat. To use it, swipe up in a DM and release your finger. When you switch to the mode, the other person will notify it. If the person you’re texting with uses this mode, there is a warning that says “[User’s name] turned on vanish mode”. Anything screenshotted will be notified in this mode.
