Can you see if someone screenshots your Instagram?

Since it was launched in 2010, Instagram has become one of the world’s most popular mobile applications. Every day, millions of people around the world flock to the photo-sharing app to find out what their favourite celebs have been up to or to catch up on their friends’ latest antics.
