No one will catch you capturing private photos on Instagram with this trick

Many of our readers have a recurring question: how to go back to a photo sent to me on Instagram Direct The quick answer is : it's not possible. The more complex answer is that you can take a screenshot of that content. Of course, Instagram leaves a mark when content sent as private is captured. Something that will give you away to your interlocutor or interlocutor. However, there is a trick to avoid this notice.Here we tell you.

Of course, before starting the tutorial we warn you that you can get into trouble if you share this captured content. The fact that a photo or video is sent to you privately does not give you the right to share it freely with other users over the Internet. In fact, you will be committing a crime against the Right to Privacy, something that entails monetary fines and prison terms. So think twice if you really want to get hold of content that should be ephemeral. With that said, let's get started.

Step by Step

The first thing you will have to do is be prepared when taking a screenshot of that ephemeral photo or video that they send you. We have been able to test this trick successfully only in those photos that are shared by Instagram Direct and that do not self-destructThat is, those that can be seen up to two times. So when you receive a photo that isn't marked with the bomb icon, here's what to do:

1. The first thing is to open said content. And, before the self-destruct time expires, or without leaving the screen, press the camera icon. It is on the bottom left, and it is used to answer the content with your own photo.
2. At this moment you will see the photo that has been sent to you in a thumbnail within the image that your mobile phone camera is capturing. Here you can enlarge said thumbnail and enlarge it to full screen, as if it were the original photo. Do it this way, using your fingers to reframe the photo.
3. Once this is done you will have to click on the capture button to take the photo. That will be when Instagram asks you if you want to send the photo to see it only once or to see it again from the chat.It doesn't matter which option you choose, but it will be time to capture the photo. In this way, Instagram will not use its capture detection system.
4. After that you can go back without problem. Press back several times to stop seeing the photo that was shared with you. The capture will remain in your gallery, and he or she will not receive any type of notification. And you won't have to erase any evidence of the crime. It'll just be like you've seen the photo once and that's it.

At the moment this process seems safe, although Instagram strives to defend and protect the security and privacy of its users, correcting possible failures that jeopardize these concepts. So use it with caution, as it could fail at any time Our recommendation is not to abuse it, or even use it only in situations of extreme necessity.Remember that it is a crime to share private content of any kind without some kind of explicit permission from the other person.

In the meantime, and if it's for private use only, you can take advantage of this almost ninja-like technique to try to record an image or part of a videosent to you via Instagram Direct, presumably privately and ephemerally. Also keep in mind that they can do the same to you.
