All the nuances of screenshot notifications on instagram

Instagram notifies you of the screenshot no longer. For all users this is good news. Some time ago, developers tried to introduce a new feature. After testing on a limited circle of people, it was canceled. But since the social network is constantly changing, and the user’s desire to protect content from copying is only growing, you need to be prepared to return information.

Do instagram notifications come with a history screen

A large proportion of instagram content falls on short stories. They are available for viewing 24 hours, and users would like to be able to save information. The application’s functionality does not allow you to download photos or videos from stories to your phone. This forces you to look for alternative ways, for example, a screenshot.

There was a period when, in the screen of history, the user who is its author received a notification. Today, the social network has completed sending alerts. Earlier, the production of a screen shot launched the following sequence of events:

1. At the first attempt to screen a frame of stories, the user is not notified. But a window appears saying that the next time the author will be informed about the action.
2. The removal of the second and subsequent screens is accompanied by the appearance of the daisy icon in the list of people who have watched stories. He is next to the nickname who took the picture.

At the moment, most of the users have stopped receiving the “daisy” mark. But view statistics are still preserved.

How to screen photos without notice

If previously the social network left traces in the screenshot of the story, and now there is a fear of resuming the function, you can use alternative methods. Throughout the testing period, sending alerts, they allowed you to take screenshots anonymously.

From phone

In order to maintain incognito, you will not need excessive effort. An easy option is to use flight mode. You can enable it using the smartphone settings.

To take a picture of a story:

1. Open instagram and wait for the story to load.
2. Without closing the application, put the phone in airplane mode. 
3. Go back to the tape and take a screenshot.
4. After the necessary information is saved, you can return to standard mode.

Another way to screen up photos on Instagram is to use special applications. The program must have a function for saving stories. There are many similar applications for both iOS and Android: Story Reposter, Story Saver, Instagram Repost.

In Story Saver, the save algorithm is as follows:

1. Open the application and log in using your login.
2. Next, the subscription feed will appear. Find the account you need.
3. In the menu above select “History” and a photo to save.
4. Save the photo by clicking on the down arrow icon.

In the application, you can also save, watch a video or take a screenshot of the desired frame using the phone function.

From computer

Instagram has a website for PC. It has all the same functions, except for personal correspondence. When you make a screen on a computer, no alerts come. You need to log in and find the story tape on the left of the screen.

When you make a screen on Instagram, a notification comes

When you take a screenshot of the story on Instagram, the notification of saving does not come, and the list of views does not contain a mark on the screenshot. The developers decided to stop the implementation of the update. The reasons why this was done are unknown. One can only speculate on what the instagram was guided by:

• maintaining user interest in viewing stories;
• increased reach by bloggers;
• possible conflicts over copyright.

Whatever the reasons, during an interview for one popular Internet media, the developers made it clear that they are not going to continue to work on this direction. Anyone who cares if screen alerts come while you can take screenshots in the usual way.
