Whenever you saw something useful or any image that will help you in any task later, you most probably save it to your saved folder on Instagram or take a screenshot of it. But Does someone know if you save their picture on Instagram? The answer is a big no. If you save the post or image in the Instagram application, the person will only be able to see the number of saves he has got on his post but not the persons who saved his post. Similarly, if you just take a screenshot, then your activity will never be counted for post images.
The publisher will only be informed about the number of saves that he got for each of his posts. But who is saving his posts and where his posts are being saved is invisible to him. If you are following a creator or not, you can save his post for later use without informing him. But If you accidentally like the image instead of saving it, the publisher will know that you are engaging with his post and can save it too.
There are a lot of applications you can use to capture our screen. But all of them are not secured. So instead of installing the application, we will recommend you use a second device. Simply open the chat you want to save and take another mobile, use its camera, and scroll from top to bottom to save all the chats. The saved chat with the mobile camera is more trusted as compared to screenshots, and screenshots can be edited very easily but videos can.
If you share a post and the person comments on his post and gives credit to you, then definitely the publisher will know that you shared his post. But if you just take a screenshot of the post or share it without engaging in the post, then the post publisher will never know who shared his posts with others.
