The question of whether a user is notified when their Facebook Story is screenshotted is a common point of inquiry. Facebook’s design does not currently provide a notification to the Story creator when another user captures a screenshot of their content. The platform treats Story screenshots similarly to how it handles screenshots taken of regular posts or profiles; such actions are not tracked or reported to the content owner.

The absence of screenshot notifications offers both advantages and disadvantages. It fosters a sense of privacy for viewers, allowing them to save content for personal use without alerting the poster. Conversely, some users may prefer to know when their content is being saved or shared in this manner, particularly if it contains sensitive or personal information. Historically, concerns about privacy and control over content have fueled discussions around features that would alert users to screenshots, but these features have not been implemented for Facebook Stories.

The question has arisen frequently since the popularization of short-lived content features.
