You come across someone's Story on Facebook, and you want to save it for future before it disappears, you have to take a screenshot. Similarly, someone shares something through Facebook chat, and you want to save it before the person deletes it, you have to take a screenshot. However, your main concern is if you screenshot someone's Facebook story, will Facebook send a notification to that person?

The act of sending notifications to the users when someone takes screenshot of their Stories or Messages has been introduced by Snapchat. The main reason behind this screen notification feature is user privacy and the security of shared content.

But the main question is, does Facebook notify when you screenshot a story or a message? Besides, is there a way to take a screenshot on Facebook without anyone knowing?

Does Facebook Notify of Screenshots?

Well, Facebook does not have any feature as of now to send notifications to any user when someone takes a screenshot of his/her Story or regular message. However, the new screenshot Facebook Messenger notification feature has been introduced for disappearing messages.

This means if you take a screenshot of someone's disappearing message from your chat, the person will get a notification that you have taken a screenshot.

The feature of Facebook screenshot notification for disappearing messages was previously introduced on Instagram. Keeping the competition of Snapchat in mind, Facebook is likely to introduce screenshot notification feature for disappearing Stories going ahead.

However, it does not send any notification for taking screenshots of regular messages and stories. Now you might be asking can you screenshot Facebook stories without them knowing or screenshot of Facebook disappearing messages for that matter?

    Social Media that Notifies When Taking Screenshots

    There are certain social media apps that notify the user whenever someone takes screenshots of Story and disappearing messages.

    Snapchat

    Snapchat is the first app to introduce the feature of notifying users when a screenshot is taken on his/her messages and stories. The feature has been introduced since the inception of Snapchat. Whenever any screenshot is taken such as regular messages, disappearing media files or stories, the user will be notified.

    snapchat

    Instagram

    Instagram notifies users when any screenshot is taken for the disappearing messages. Instagram is not so strict about user privacy like Snapchat but it is very logical to notify users on screenshotting disappearing messages. This is because users are putting on disappearing messages so that the other user cannot see them for long or save them for the future.

    Telegram

    Under normal circumstances, Telegram does not notify users when someone screenshots their messages. However, if any user has enabled Secret chat option, Telegram notifies users immediately.
