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
