With this new feature, a circle shutter icon will display next to the name of the account that has screen grabbed your content. Story owners otherwise won\u2019t be alerted when someone takes a screenshot \u2014 they can only tell after manually checking the \u201cseen by\u201d list.\u00a0Instagram is likely testing how people respond to the new notices and may decide to never roll out the feature to all users.<\/p>\n<p>There are workarounds to avoid being detected though, as some Twitter users\u00a0have pointed out\u00a0\u2014 you can set your phone to airplane mode and then screenshot, or you can view the Instagram story via a web browser on desktop and safely screenshot from there.
