Instagram Is Notifying People When You Screenshot Their Photos And No One Is Safe

Do you blame them though? I mean, I love me a good stalking session. More often than not, I’m at home wearing no pants, vegging out in bed with one hand on my phone and the other hand in a box of cookies. I need some form of entertainment in my life – that form of entertainment being stalking everyone’s social media and then talking sh*t about it with my friends. It seems as though I’m not the only petty b*tch out here.

That’s not fun for anyone involved. Not only do you look like a stage-5-clinger, but the person you’re stalking feels uncomfortable ever running into you in public. So, for the sake of everyone involved, let’s be careful what we screenshot and whose posts we screenshot.
