\nHaving understood the types of content that Instagram sends alerts for, let us check out each of the content types that Instagram can send alerts for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Does Instagram notify when you screenshot a story?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nInstagram does not send notifications for the screenshots of stories. Instagram used to send alerts whenever someone took screenshots of their stories. However, the feature stayed only for a short time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe feature was launched in February 2018, and by June 2018, it was withdrawn. Since then, there have been no issues with respect to taking a screenshot of stories. However, we would recommend you to be on alert as the feature may make a comeback.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Does Instagram send notifications for screenshots of Direct Messages?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nIf you have received a disappearing video, image, or message \u2013 taking a screenshot of the message can make Instagram send an alert to the sender. The help section of Instagram clearly mentions that <\/span>\u201cyou can see if they were delivered, opened, replayed, or if someone took a screenshot\u201d.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nScreenshots of any other types of direct messages that are non-disappearing in nature will not make Instagram send alerts to the sender. You would be safer in those circumstances. Anything set through the direct messages will be safe as long as the message is non-disappearing in nature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Does Instagram send notifications for screenshots of User profiles?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nYou can safely take a screenshot of someone\u2019s user profile, just the way you would take a screenshot of posts and stories. There won’t be any alert sent to the owner of the profile that you have taken a screenshot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThis option can be helpful in cases where you are looking to save someone\u2019s personal information. By taking a screenshot, you can get access to their contact details, website information, and other details. In fact, you can save the contact and other details without the need to follow them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
