Can friends see when you comment on someone's story on Instagram?

Yes, usually others can see your comment if the platform's settings allow it.

Yes, they can. Instagram has features that notify the person whose story you viewed.

In many cases, friends can be notified or see that you've reacted. It depends on the privacy settings of the platform and how they handle such reactions. Some platforms might give more visibility, while others might have more limited visibility based on your settings.

No, usually Instagram doesn't notify the person whose story you screenshot.

Unfortunately, you can't. Instagram's private story feature is set up so that the person making the story has full control over who can see it. There's no way to check if you're on their list. It could be that you'll only find out if you try to view it and are able to, but that's not a definite way to know. So, in short, there's no visibility on whether you're on someone's private story list.

Well, as far as I know, for most social media platforms including Instagram where stories are quite popular, there is no built - in function to let you check if you liked someone's story. You can't just go to a list that says 'your liked stories'. It's more about the interaction in the moment, and the platform focuses more on showing the overall popularity of the story through the number of likes rather than individual account's history of liking a particular story.

In most cases, if the person sharing the story has set the privacy settings to public or has specifically included you as a viewer, you can see it. But if it's set to private for only certain people, and you're not among them, you won't be able to see it.

Yes, they can. As long as the person whose story it is has not restricted the visibility or made it private, others can view it.

Instagram does have a mechanism where the owner of the story can be notified if you screenshot it. But it's not foolproof. There could be technical issues or the person may not be paying attention to the notifications. And if you use a device's built - in screenshot function, it's more likely to be detected compared to some dodgy, unethical third - party workarounds which, as I said, are against the rules.

Yes, they can. Instagram provides a feature where the owner of the story can see who has sent their story. It shows up in the list of viewers, along with the option to see who has shared or sent it. This is part of Instagram's privacy and interaction tracking features.
