However, some people on TikTok want to keep a low profile and may be uncomfortable if TikTok notifies others when someone screenshots their TikTok. But, does TikTok notify screenshots?
If you have the same question, you’re not alone. And, in this article, we will learn whether or not TikTok notifies screenshots. So, keep reading to find out.
Does TikTok notify when you Screenshot?
Unlike Snapchat, TikTok doesn’t notify users if you screenshot their profiles, videos, direct messages, live sessions, or any other content such as stories. In addition to screenshots, TikTok also doesn’t notify screen recordings.
This is true for everyone including content creators. It also means you won’t be notified if others screenshot your TikTok profile or content.
So, you can screenshot others’ profiles and content on TikTok without letting them know.

Can you prevent Screenshots on TikTok?
No, you cannot prevent people from taking screenshots of your profile or content on TikTok because the platform doesn’t give you the option to do so.
However, you can limit people not following you from screenshotting your videos by setting your TikTok account to private. Here’s how to do it:
- Open TikTok
- Open your Profile
- Tap on the three-lined button at the top-right edge of your profile.
- Tap Settings and privacy
- Tap Privacy
- Toggle on the button that appears next to “Private account”
Making your account private will only prevent users who don’t follow you from taking screenshots of your videos, but they will still be able to screenshot your profile.
Only your followers can screenshot or screen-record your videos if your account is private on TikTok. But there’s no way to prevent your followers from screenshotting your profile in any case, at least not as of now.
Conclusion
TikTok does not notify others whenever somebody screenshots their profile or videos. There is also no way to prevent users from screenshotting your TikTok profile or videos.
Luckily, you can private your TikTok account to prevent users who don’t follow you from screenshotting your videos. However, your profile and bio will stay visible and they can screenshot it.
