Do you scroll through Instagram Stories and take a screenshot every once in a while to show someone else a great or embarrassing photo? You must be thinking how great it is that the user on the other end doesn't know that you've basically saved their photo, but that's slowly coming to an end now. Instagram is introducing a new feature for its Stories, which it again copied from Snapchat (in fact, the entire feature).
If you now take a screenshot of the screen while viewing a photo or video in Instagram Stories, the user who added Stories will receive a notification directly in the notification center that you have screened their photo (or video). So if you follow someone you don't even know well or you know, but you're just stalking them because what's going on around them is extremely important to your life, then you should always think about it first from now on.
We also tested the function in the editorial office and found that it does not work for everyone for the time being. Instagram is probably rolling it out to its users gradually, but it's already certain that it will be available to everyone soon.
