But is this really possible? This article will show you how to turn off notifications for screenshots on Instagram and hide your stories from people. If someone keeps screenshotting your stories, it&#8217;s important to block them. And of course, you should always check the privacy settings on your Instagram account before allowing others to see your private content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Notifications_for_screenshots_on_Instagram\"><\/span>Notifications for screenshots on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Notifications for screenshots on Instagram were once a popular feature, but they&#8217;ve been rolled back in a recent update. Instead of notifying you whenever someone takes a screenshot of your Story, Instagram now sends you an email to let you know when someone has taken a screenshot of your story. However, if you screenshot a story on Instagram, you won&#8217;t receive a notification, but you can turn it off in Vanish Mode.<\/p>\n<p>Notifications for screenshots on Instagram can be helpful if you need to share a screenshot of your latest photo. But Instagram does not send notifications for screenshots unless you have explicitly requested it. This is because the app has put in place strong restrictions to protect its users&#8217; information. This means that third-party apps cannot reveal screenshot information to other users. Ultimately, you should not give your personal details to third-party apps.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in making sure you never take a screenshot of someone else&#8217;s post, you can set up notifications to alert you when the other person has done it. Notifications for screenshots are only available for posts on your profile. However, they don&#8217;t work for DM content. You have to wait for the post to disappear before you can take a screenshot. Using a screenshot to save an image is easy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_block_people_from_screenshotting_your_instagram_story\"><\/span>How to block people from screenshotting your instagram story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re having issues with someone screenshotting your Instagram story, it&#8217;s important to know how to block people from doing so. While Instagram doesn&#8217;t send notifications when people take screenshots, it does show the star icon next to the person who took the screenshot. To prevent this, you can block the person&#8217;s account. This way, they won&#8217;t be able to see your story.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, Instagram does not notify you when people screenshot your story. This is a huge improvement. While this does make the process of preventing screenshots more efficient, it does mean that you&#8217;ll want to make sure that people follow the instructions below to prevent them from doing so in the first place. Once you&#8217;ve blocked someone from screenshotting your story, you should be able to stop them from doing so.<\/p>\n<p>The screenshot function is extremely helpful to save online content, but it also presents a problem for people who are not supposed to. In some cases, screenshots can be used to blackmail or out LGBTQ people. Instagram stories are especially susceptible to screenshotting. Oftentimes, users will post risque stories for their friends, but send photos that disappear into the DM. In such cases, the screenshot feature can be used to block these people from doing so.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_hide_your_instagram_story_from_people\"><\/span>How to hide your instagram story from people<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wanted to hide your Instagram story from people, there are now some simple methods you can use. If you&#8217;d like to share your story with a select few people but still keep it private from the public, Instagram offers two ways to go about this. The first way is to go into your profile settings and click on the three dots in the upper right corner. On this page, you&#8217;ll find the Story Settings section. From there, you can choose to hide your story from people who do not follow you. Then, if you want to hide your story from everyone, click on the tick icon and select the option that says &#8220;Hide this story from everyone.&#8221; This will remove the option that makes the story public. The other option is to search for specific users whose usernames you&#8217;d like to hide your Instagram story from.<\/p>\n<p>The third option is to choose &#8220;private&#8221; from the privacy settings. By default, an Instagram account is set to public. If you don&#8217;t want other users to see your stories, you can choose to turn them off. However, it&#8217;s important to keep in mind that people who aren&#8217;t following you on Instagram might follow you on other platforms. For example, someone might screen record your story so that they can watch it later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can You See Who Screenshots Your Instagram Story?
