The first question that may come to your mind is: can people see if you screen record their Instagram story? It is possible to record someone’s video, though you have to be careful. If you record a DM, they may not notice that you’re recording their video, but you should respect their privacy by not posting it online. Screen recording private messages is also possible for DMs sent in Vanish Mode. However, screen recording is still not permitted on any other kind of Instagram account, so use it carefully and with respect for privacy. Instagram may fix this loophole in a future update, so don’t let anyone know you’re doing it.
Screen recording on Instagram is not allowed, but there are ways to record videos on it. You just need to know how to do so.

If you’ve ever screenshotted a story or recorded a DM on Instagram, you’re probably wondering if there’s a way to get notifications from the app. Unfortunately, this feature doesn’t exist yet. This is something that you can ask Instagram to add in the future. You can use this feature to share the screenshots with your friends, but it’s unclear how.
Taking a screenshot

This will allow you to record any message sent through Instagram.
