How To Take Instagram Story Screenshot Without Getting Caught

Privacy on social media is always questionable. We have many incidents of privacy breach on social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and various such popular sites. It’s not that these companies are not providing any remedy to the privacy intrusion issue. Instagram has come up with a feature that would alert a user if someone tries to take a screenshot of the Insta story. This feature is currently in its testing phase but still, it’s available for many users. As we know, Insta stories remain for 24 hours before disappearing on their own. However, a user can save his stories as well.

You may try to capture someone’s insta story when he/she is a popular celebrity. So, being a fan you can do that and it is acceptable. However, there is another group of users who act like stalkers. These kinds of people may randomly take a screenshot of anyone’s Insta story they feel like. This will probably alert the original user and he/she may block the screenshot taker if she feels any breach of privacy. So, is there any way to take Instagram Story Screenshot without having the original user know of it..? Well, yes, there are a few workarounds to get this done.

Still, we will maintain that never use this for any kind of malicious activity. Use it only if you are going to re-share it for some valid reason. For stalking purposes, using the workarounds is not really recommended. Keep in mind that, if you take an Instagram story screenshot the first time, you will get a notification. It will mention that that next time you when you take a screenshot, the original user/poster will be notified.
