First, make sure that the story that you are trying to screenshot has permission from the user. Instagram will notify you when someone has viewed or commented on your story. In addition, users with insights will be able to see who has interacted with your story. Users with professional profiles, however, will not see who has sent you a story. Once you have permission to screenshot a story, simply follow the steps above.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taking_a_screenshot_of_an_Instagram_story\"><\/span>Taking a screenshot of an Instagram story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many reasons to take a screenshot of an Instagram story, from saving pretty pictures and photos for personal use to sharing with friends and family. You may even want to purchase something that someone has posted on Instagram. Regardless of your reason, screenshotting your Instagram story can be fun and entertaining. It is important to note that screenshotting a story may violate Instagram&#8217;s Terms of Service, so you must always follow the platform&#8217;s guidelines before taking a screenshot.<\/p>\n<p>There are two ways to take a screenshot of an Instagram story without telling the person you&#8217;ve taken it. If you&#8217;re using an Android phone, you can set your phone on airplane mode so that the person doesn&#8217;t see your screenshot. If you&#8217;re using an iPhone or iPad, you can save the screenshot by swiping up on the photo or video. Taking a screenshot on a mobile phone makes the process much simpler.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taking_a_screenshot_of_a_post\"><\/span>Taking a screenshot of a post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When someone posts something on Instagram, sometimes it&#8217;s necessary to take a screenshot of the post. This is especially helpful when a photo has disappeared from the user&#8217;s feed. In order to take a screenshot, simply click on the image to open the photo&#8217;s details page and click &#8220;take a screenshot.&#8221; The screenshot will be sent to the other user&#8217;s profile, but it may not be of the highest quality.<\/p>\n<p>There are many reasons to save a post on Instagram. Taking a screenshot allows you to collect posts and revisit them later. To save a post, simply tap the bookmark icon under the post. Once saved, you can view it on your profile by going to the story and tapping &#8220;Saved.&#8221; Note, however, that the bookmark will be lost if the original image is deleted.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taking_a_screenshot_of_a_users_profile\"><\/span>Taking a screenshot of a user&#8217;s profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to take a screenshot of a user&#8217;s Instagram profile, you should do so in the web browser. If you don&#8217;t want to alert Instagram to your screenshot, turn off notifications. Screenshotting is not as difficult as it sounds. The first step is to switch to airplane mode. By doing this, your phone will be in a state similar to that of offline mode.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, you need to know when Instagram will notify you when you take a screenshot. Instagram doesn&#8217;t send a notification when you take a screenshot of a post or private message, but it will notify you when you screenshot a story. If you&#8217;re wondering how to do this, you can read the Insider&#8217;s Guide to Instagram. However, don&#8217;t be afraid of screenshotting someone&#8217;s Instagram profile for your own personal use.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taking_a_screenshot_of_a_users_story_without_their_consent\"><\/span>Taking a screenshot of a user&#8217;s story without their consent<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have permission, you can screenshot a user&#8217;s Instagram story, but not the other way around. The first step to taking a screenshot is to make sure the account has Airplane Mode turned on, which you can do by visiting the Settings menu on your phone or by opening the notifications tray. After that, hold the Power button and the Volume Down button at the same time to take a screenshot. Once the screenshot has been taken, you can select it to edit it.<\/p>\n<p>As of June 2018, you will no longer receive notification if someone has screenshotted your story. Although this feature is still experimental, it does seem to be coming. As long as you are careful and do not screenshot anything, you won&#8217;t get a notification from Instagram. You can still take screenshots of live videos without the user&#8217;s permission, but you will not be notified that you&#8217;re doing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Does Instagram Tell When You Screenshot a Story?
