Yes, people can see someone's Ig story if the person has set their story to be visible to the public or to their followers. Instagram offers privacy settings for stories, but by default, if you follow someone and they post a story, you'll be able to view it within 24 hours of it being posted.
In general, people can see someone's IG story under certain conditions. Firstly, if the Instagram user has a public account, then their stories are visible to all Instagram users. Secondly, for private accounts, only the followers who have been approved by the account owner can view the stories. Also, Instagram offers some additional privacy features. For example, the user can choose to hide their story from specific followers or even create a close friends list, where only those on the list can see certain stories.
Yes, they can. When you take a screenshot of an IG story, the person who posted the story may be able to see that it has been screenshot. However, not all users are aware of this feature or may not pay attention to it. Some people might use third - party apps to view their story analytics which can show screenshot activity.
If their account is public, you can simply open the Instagram app, go to their profile, and the story will be visible at the top of their profile picture if they have an active story. If it's a private account, you need to follow them first and wait for them to approve your follow request before you can see their stories.
It is indeed possible to see someone's ig story without following them, but only if their account is public. Instagram's privacy settings are set up in such a way that public accounts are visible to all users. So, for public accounts, you can freely view their stories without having to follow them. But for private accounts, following is a must - and that's only if the account owner approves your follow request.
Yes, Instagram doesn't directly notify the user when you screenshot their story. However, some third - party apps or tools might claim to be able to detect screenshots, but these are often not reliable and may violate Instagram's terms of use. So, in general, from Instagram's official features, the person who posted the story won't know if you screenshot it.
As of now, Instagram doesn't notify the story creator when someone screenshots their story. This is different from some other features on the platform, like when you screenshot a disappearing photo in a direct message (which does notify the sender). So for IG stories, you can screenshot them privately without the creator knowing. It's important to note that this lack of notification is a privacy aspect for users who want to save or share interesting stories without the fear of being caught.
