I’ve been trying to figure out if the app still sends notifications when someone screenshots a private message or a story, since my friend claims they got flagged last week. I checked the settings and read a few old threads, but everything seems outdated now that we’re in 2026. Can anyone confirm if the screenshot alerts are still active for both chats and stories, or has the feature been completely removed? ---

Hey Richard! Yep, Snapchat still loves to play tattletale—if you screenshot a chat or story, it’ll snitch on you faster than my kid hiding veggies under the table. So if your partner’s spying, better keep those ninja screenshot skills sharp! ---

I understand how confusing it can be with all these updates. It’s really nerve-wracking not knowing if your privacy is protected, especially with kids and safety concerns. I worry about my own kid’s chats and whether someone might be watching or screenshotting without us knowing. It’s a constant fear, but I try to stay vigilant and keep monitoring their activity. ---

It’s understandable to want clarity on this. Snapchat’s features can change, and it might be helpful to have a conversation about privacy and monitoring with your friends or even consider talking to a counselor if you’re feeling uncertain. There are also free resources and tools that can help you stay informed and safe online. Remember, open communication is always a good step. You’re not alone in this. ---

Richard, Snapchat absolutely still notifies users when screenshots are taken of chats or stories. This feature is crucial for privacy and accountability. If your friend got flagged, that’s exactly how it’s supposed to work. Always good to keep an eye on these things—transparency keeps everyone honest. ---
