Can you screenshot someone’s Instagram Story or grid post?
If you screenshot someones grid or Story post, they do not get a notification.
Ditto for screen-recording a video post.
And Id tell you.
Can you screenshot Instagram direct messages?
This is where things get dicey.
In a standard Instagram direct message, you’re free to screenshot with no problems.
If you toggle onvanish mode, however, you lose that ability.
I saw a few people posting about it and tested it myself.
Ifyouscreenshot the thread, you also see the notification that “you took a screenshot.”
It makes sense because vanish mode is supposed to be more private.
This does not apply to messages that are sent in chat threads without vanish mode turned on.
It looks like this:
Has Instagram ever alerted users to other screenshots of their content?
A photo taken with the regular camera and sent from the camera roll didnotproduce a screenshot notification.
Why am I telling you this?
Instagram only recently changed this, but it did so in phases.
It’s only meant to be replayed once."
If and when it changes again, I’ll let you know.
The shares and saves are important here.
The rightward facing arrow that looks like a paper plane is your shares.
The rectangle with a triangular cutout that looks like a bookmark is your saves.
Above, see that nine people shared my post and six saved it.
What were their intentions?
(To test whether someone has a business account, tap their profile.
Below is an example of a time one of my Stories got 11 shares.
Sensing nasty intentions, I blocked the original sharer.
Does any of this matter?
