Does instagram show when typing?
Short answer
The typing dots appear in a chat. This happens while the user is actively typing a message in that conversation, and they vanish the moment the user stops typing. The dots are not visible when the thread is closed, so simply reading a chat does not reveal if the other user is typing.

Does Instagram tell you when someone screenshots your story?
No, Instagram does not tell you when someone screenshots your Story or a regular post. Screenshot alerts only ever applied to disappearing photos and videos sent inside a private direct-message chat. For everything posted to your feed, Story, or profile grid, people can capture screenshots freely without you being warned.
Does Instagram tell you when someone saves your post?
No, Instagram does not tell you when someone saves your post to their collections. Saving is completely private to the person who does it, and the account owner only ever sees the total save count in post insights on a professional account. You can never see which specific users saved something.
How to see instagram reposts?
Sharing a post on social media doesn't always result in a notification. If someone adds your post to their Story, it tags your username and you receive a notification. However, privately sharing your post through a direct message or other personal channels does not trigger a notification. The method of sharing significantly affects whether you are aware of its distribution.

Instagram saves are private to the person who does it, making it impossible for account owners to see exactly who has saved their posts. The account owner can only view the total save count in post insights on a professional account.
