You will now get a notification if someone screenshots your Instagram story

This may be a problem.

Would you consider yourself to be a little bit of a social media stalker?

Well, we have some pretty bad news folks.

Screenshotting on Instagram is set to change forever, as of right now btw.

According to The Tab, a new update on the App means that when you’re sending and receiving photos via DM, if the person you’re sending it to decides to screenshot the picture, you’ll be notified.

Which is great news for those of us that value privacy – but also… sad for those of us who like a little creep now and then.

But the plot thickens.

Instagram users will also be told when messages have been ‘delivered’ and ‘seen’, just like on WhatsApp.

Oh, and we’ll also know when photos have been ‘opened’. Can’t wait…

How do you feel about this new update?
