Does Facebook Notify Screenshots?

[Maria]

Does Facebook notify users when someone takes a screenshot of their profile, story, or messages? I’m not sure how it works and just want to be careful. If anyone knows how Facebook handles screenshots, I’d really appreciate some clarification!

Facebook does not inform their users in case one has screen-shot his posts, profiles, photos or comments. But in the disappearing messages of Messenger (Vanish Mode), a notification is given when a screen shot is taken. Otherwise, the screenshots in Facebook are confidential and unnoticed.

Facebook does not notify users when someone takes a screenshot of regular posts, profiles, or pages. However, in Messenger’s disappearing messages mode, users do receive a notification if a screenshot is captured. Outside of that feature, screenshots remain private, so caution is advised when sharing sensitive or personal content.

Facebook does not notify users when someone takes a screenshot of posts, profiles, or timelines. However, in Messenger’s disappearing messages mode, screenshot alerts are sent for privacy. Always respect others’ content and avoid sharing screenshots without permission.

No, Facebook does not notify users when someone takes a screenshot of their posts, profiles, or messages. However, in encrypted Secret Conversations on Messenger, users may receive a notification if a screenshot is taken for added privacy protection.

No, Facebook generally does not notify users of screenshots of posts, photos, profiles, or Stories.

The only exception is in Facebook Messenger when using the Disappearing Messages feature (sometimes called Vanish Mode); in that specific chat, both users are alerted if a screenshot is taken.
