Yes, they can. Instagram has a feature that shows the list of people who have viewed their story. However, there are some privacy settings and workarounds. For example, if you view someone's story in incognito mode or use certain third - party apps (which might violate Instagram's terms), it may not show up in their view list. But generally, in the normal use of the app, if you view an Instagram story, the owner of the story can see that you've seen it.
Yes, you can see who has viewed your Instagram story. Instagram provides a list of accounts that have seen your story in the story insights section. However, if someone has a private account and you are not following them, or if they have restricted you, their view might not be shown.
On some social media platforms, no. For example, on Instagram, when you view someone's story, they generally can't directly see that you specifically have viewed it. However, there are analytics available to the story creator which gives them some overall information like how many views the story got, but not who exactly viewed it.
Yes, Instagram notifies the user when someone takes a screenshot of their story. However, this only applies to normal stories. For some disappearing or private stories, the rules might be a bit different.
As of now, Instagram doesn't have a feature that alerts users when their stories are screenshot. So, don't worry about the story owner finding out if you take a screenshot. However, this could potentially change in the future as Instagram often updates its features.
Instagram is designed in such a way that it respects the privacy of the person taking the screenshot. When you screenshot an IG story, the person who shared that story will not receive any kind of notification about it. This is different from some other social media platforms where screenshot notifications exist. Instagram aims to give users a sense of freedom to save or share the content they like from stories without the worry of being caught or having to ask for permission every time they want to take a screenshot.
Generally speaking, Instagram doesn't let others know that you've watched their story. It's designed this way to protect the privacy of viewers. If you're worried about being seen while viewing someone's story, you don't need to be, at least not through the official Instagram features. But if you interact with the story, like sending a direct message about it or if you're in a very small group where people can make assumptions based on your behavior, that's a different situation.
Yes, they can. When you share someone's Instagram story, Instagram notifies the original creator that you have shared their story. This is part of Instagram's functionality to keep creators informed about how their content is being spread.
As far as I know, you can screenshot an IG story without the person who posted it knowing. But remember, using those screenshots appropriately and respecting others' rights is important.
