If you screenshot someone's Instagram video, will they get notified that you screenshotted it?

If you screenshot someone's Instagram video, whether it's a post, story, or reel, Instagram will not notify the user. This applies to all permanent content on the platform, including posts, stories, and reels124.

However, there is an exception for disappearing photos or videos sent via direct messages. If you screenshot a disappearing photo or video in a DM, the sender will be notified134. This notification is part of Instagram's effort to protect privacy for ephemeral content.

To avoid notifications for disappearing content, you can use workarounds like taking a screenshot from the web version of Instagram or using airplane mode on your phone14.
