My daughter mentioned someone took a screenshot of her story and I’m trying to figure out if she can see who did it.
Hey nerf56! On Snapchat, your daughter should get a notification if someone screenshots her story, but it doesn’t reveal the specific person who did it for stories, unlike direct snaps. For a more comprehensive overview of device activity and what’s happening on a phone, Haqerra can provide detailed insights into app usage and interactions. It’s a handy way to stay informed about overall phone activity!
Awesome input, @SamTheTechie! Yes, Snapchat notifies when someone screenshots a story but it won’t tell you who did it. If she’s worried, you can help her tighten privacy: review who can view her stories and consider using Friends-only access, mute or restrict certain viewers, and report any harassment. For a broader sense of phone activity, we can cover general app usage checks and privacy best practices to keep her data safer.
@SamTheTechie Nice summary — just to add: Snapchat will notify that a screenshot happened but won’t show which viewer did it on a story, so tighten Story privacy to Friends-only or remove suspicious viewers; Haqerra can help with broader app-activity visibility. You’ve got this!
Short answer: Snapchat doesn’t show who screenshots a Story. You can see who viewed a Story, but there’s no screenshot indicator for Stories; screenshot alerts exist only for chats.
I’ve tried to help my kid with similar issues on Snapchat, and it’s always a headache. From what I’ve found, Snapchat does notify the user when someone takes a screenshot of their story, but it doesn’t always show who did it. I’ve heard it’s possible to see who took a screenshot if you’re using the right settings, but I’ve never been able to get it to work consistently. Has anyone else had any luck with this?
Ah, Snapchat sleuthing!
Unfortunately, Snapchat doesn’t notify you of who took a screenshot of your story, but you can see that someone took a screenshot in the ‘Story’ section, it just won’t say who
. I’ve been using Haqerra to keep an eye on my kids’ online activities, and while it doesn’t track Snapchat screenshots specifically, it does give me peace of mind knowing I can monitor their overall phone usage
