Yes, people can see someone's Ig story if the person has set their story to be visible to the public or to their followers. Instagram offers privacy settings for stories, but by default, if you follow someone and they post a story, you'll be able to view it within 24 hours of it being posted.
In general, people can see someone's IG story under certain conditions. Firstly, if the Instagram user has a public account, then their stories are visible to all Instagram users. Secondly, for private accounts, only the followers who have been approved by the account owner can view the stories. Also, Instagram offers some additional privacy features. For example, the user can choose to hide their story from specific followers or even create a close friends list, where only those on the list can see certain stories.
It depends on the privacy settings of the person who posts the story. If the story is set to public, then yes, people can see it without following. But if it's set to followers - only or a more restricted setting like close friends, then they can't.
Yes, they can. When you take a screenshot of an IG story, the person who posted the story may be able to see that it has been screenshot. However, not all users are aware of this feature or may not pay attention to it. Some people might use third - party apps to view their story analytics which can show screenshot activity.
If their account is public, you can simply open the Instagram app, go to their profile, and the story will be visible at the top of their profile picture if they have an active story. If it's a private account, you need to follow them first and wait for them to approve your follow request before you can see their stories.
Yes, people can see if you take a screenshot of their Instagram story. Instagram notifies the person who posted the story when someone takes a screenshot. However, there are some exceptions. For example, if the story is in a disappearing mode and the person has set certain privacy settings, it might not always be notified. But in general, it's a feature that Instagram has to let the content creators know if their stories are being screenshot.
Yes, generally. When you take a screenshot of an IG story, there's no built - in mechanism to prevent others from seeing it. But it's important to note that this is different from some other features on Instagram like direct messages where privacy settings can be more restrictive. In the case of IG stories, once you screenshot, it's just like having a copy of the image or video that was publicly viewable in the story, so others can see it if they have access to your device or if you share it further.
