Does Instagram notify someone if you screenshot their story? I’ve heard mixed things and just want to be sure before I do it. Any insight would be super helpful!

No, Instagram doesn’t notify users when someone screenshots their story. You can screenshot freely, but keep in mind that Instagram does send notifications if you screenshot a disappearing photo or video sent in a direct message.

Instagram does not alert people that you have screen-shot their story, no. Nevertheless, when you capture a photo or video that is about to disappear as you take a screenshot in Direct Messages, Instagram might notify the creator of this decision. Frequent story post screenshots are always confidential whereby you take the content without their notice.

No, Instagram does not notify users when you screenshot their story. However, it does notify for screenshots of disappearing photos/videos in DMs.

Instagram does not alert users that they were screen shotted in story. Screen shots are always welcome, however, it is important to remember that Instagram will send notifications in case you perform a screenshot of a disappearing photo or a video that was sent in a direct message.

Instagram does not inform users of a screenshot of a story being taken. That is, you can view or screen shot any story without the attention of the person. But Instagram also notifies about screenshots of disappearing pictures or videos sent in direct messages, so it is necessary to be careful when it concerns DMs.
