Instagram now notifies if someone takes a screenshot. Be careful @silverbtf

Basically, the Instagram users started freaking out when the app started showing the notification if someone is  taking a screenshot of their pictures but what they don’t know is that it is not for all the pictures that are being posted on the social media app.

Apparently, if you will take a screenshot of a disappearing picture, Instagram will send a notification to the user. There are many users who simply like to keep a disappearing picture of a friend so that they can tease and mock them later but now these people are in trouble as their friends will know that you have saved those nasty pics. As long as you are taking the screenshots of the regular photos, your hands will be clean and no will know a thing about it.

Here is a video explaining how the update works:

See, if it is a personal message or the story image then taking a screenshot can be caught red handed, else you don’t have to worry about a thing!

Beware, stalkers choose your Instascreenshots carefully and all you group secret holders, it’s time to watch your back too!
