Does Vsco Notify Screenshots? Everything You Need to Know

No, certainly impossible. Vsco doesn’t notify users when someone screenshots the photos they shared on Vsco. It’s a drawback for users who have strong privacy protection awareness. But for someone who just wants to keep photos for appreciation or reference, it may be good news to avoid awkwardness and do not need permission.

Vsco is a rare photo editing and sharing social platform that completely doesn’t notify if you screenshot, no matter what kind of situation. However, there are many often used social media sites that notify the owners when you take a screenshot on others’ messages, photos, or videos.

They are:

Snapchat notifies users when someone screenshots their messages and images. And if the users are plus members, they can enable the “Screenshot Protection” feature, so that Snapchat will prevent taking screenshots.

Instagram only notifies if someone screenshot your direct messages when you enable the Vanish mode.

Facebook Messenger also notifies the owner that someone is taking screenshots of their messages when the vanish mode is enabled.

Same to WhatsApp, it will notify the users if you screenshot their view once pictures or videos.

Surely, if you really want to keep the pictures for legal use, you can: 

1. Ask for permission from the owner.
2. Use a screenshot tool that can not be detected. For example, iTop Screen Recorder has a free screenshot tool which is totally anonymous on various social media sites, so it can take screenshots on your interested on-screen content without notification.
