PSA: This is how you can take a screenshot on Insta without the user finding out

Yes, there is a way to stop it

Well, having a creep won’t be easy anymore.

Well, it will. But telling your friends about has become more difficult.

We’re sure you all know that Instagram has installed a feature which will tell you when someone screenshots your Insta Story.

Yes, our days of creeping might be over but at least we’ll know who is creeping on us, amirite?

First of all, you need to go into your own stories and click into the people who has viewed them.

Next, look out for a star-like symbol (it’s like a swirling star) – if that symbol pops up beside a user, then that means they have taken a screenshot.

See? Easy.

However, if you want to take a screenshot without the person finding out, then apparently all you need to do is turn your phone on to Airplane Mode.

According to TechCrunch, a spokesperson for Instagram said: “We are always testing ways to improve the experience on Instagram and make it easier to share any moment with the people who matter to you.”
