Instagram quietly ends screenshot notification feature on Stories
The news marks the end of a few months of testing with a limited rollout that didn't quite indicate who was in the testing pool

MANILA, Philippines – Instagram quietly ended a feature that would tell users if someone else took screenshots of their Instagram Stories. 

The news, first reported by Buzzfeed, marks the end of a few months of testing the feature, which was on a limited rollout with very little indication of who was in the testing pool.

According to Gizmodo, Instagram users who had their Stories screenshotted could see the names of those who took screengrabs next to a camera shutter icon. They would also be notified that someone took a picture of their post. 

Instagram’s Stories, taking off from a similar feature on Snapchat, last for 24 hours before being taken off the service. – Rappler.com
