Don’t get caught! Instagram will now notify screenshot alerts

Instagram is getting more inspiration from Snapchat by borrowing or shall we say “stealing” another feature from Snapchat. The Facebook-owned Instagram will notify their users when someone will screenshot or screen-record their temporary stories. Temporary stories concept was also adopted by Instagram from Snapchat’s snapshot story view.

Rumors earlier this year started surfacing that Instagram will be launching its secured stories from screenshot feature but now it’s happening and some people might not be pleased with this idea.

As of now, when someone will take a screenshot of another person’s Instagram story, the person who has posted the story will be notified with the star-shaped icon placed next to his/her story handle. The Star shaped icon is visible with the name of a person who screenshot your story in handler bar.
