Does anyone know if it now sends a notification when you use QuickTime on Mac to record the iPhone screen during Snapchat?
What's the point? It's not like you can do anything about it… who you gonna call, the snap police
I guess I don't get why anyone would care. If they are publicly sharing videos or photos, why does it matter if someone screenshots them? It's like "I'm going to share this nude photo with the world, but no one better save it!" If you don't want it saved, don't share it.
I read this somewhere but using Airplane Mode simply delays when your phone sends the notification to the other person that you took a screenshot. It simply queues up the notice and waits until data/WiFi becomes available.
I've never used Snapchat, or Instagram (and I'm one of the younger generation!), but I imagine that an easy "hack" around this would be to take a photo of your phone with an actual camera.
A bit more effort, but nobody knows that you've made a record of... whatever it is.
My wife and daughter did that once - our niece posted a snap that showed her smoking 'something' and our daughter didn't want to be the "snitch" so she replayed it and my wife used her phone to take a picture.
Well, if person B doesn't like it, person A won't get seconds. That's about it.What's the point? It's not like you can do anything about it… who you gonna call, the snap police
Either way, it's silly. If you wanna send nudes, stand by that. If someone is really dedicated there are a million ways to cap and spread them anyways...

Apparantly airplay will trigger the screen shot notification in snapchat as well.
One new feature in iOS 11 lets you easily record the screen of your iPhone as you navigate around the user interface, which can be useful when trying to help someone remotely troubleshoot an iOS problem or when making videos to share online. Since iOS 11 officially launched to the public yesterday, many users on Twitter and other sites have begun to worry that people will be able to screen record their Snapchats and Instagram Direct messages without notifications warning them of such activities taking place.
While it appears that such is the case for Instagram Direct, Snapchat will still let you know when someone is screen recording your privately messaged snaps. Thanks to a tipster who emailed us this morning, we decided to test out sending both still images and videos through the two previously mentioned apps, and discovered that Snapchat treats iOS 11's screen recording feature just as it does for taking a screenshot.
After using screen recording, the sender (left) is shown in-app screenshot icons and the receiver (right) gets notified
If your iPhone is locked, you'll get a push notification saying someone "took a screenshot!" of either your photo or video, and if you're within the app then Snapchat will still display the double-crossed arrows and let you know that the receiver took a "screenshot just now." So, while Snapchat isn't able to directly tell you that it's a screen recording on iOS 11, you'll still know that your DMs are being saved. Stories, on the other hand, appear to be less abiding to the screen recording/screenshot notification system, at least for now.
Instagram Direct doesn't yet appear to have such a feature for iOS 11 screen recording warnings. Similar to Snapchat, Instagram Direct lets you send disappearing photos and videos to other users, and includes a screenshot notification whenever the recipient captures the content you sent privately.
In tests on iOS 11, neither photos nor videos captured via screen recording in Instagram Direct told the sender that such an action had taken place. If screen recording becomes a bigger issue for these private messaging apps, and others like them, it's likely that developers will begin to implement more direct warning systems for users to look out for.
Take a look at our guide for iOS 11 screen recording to learn more about the new feature, and then check out our complete iOS 11 Roundup for all of the major -- and minor -- additions that were introduced in the new software update.
Thanks, Joshua!

It lets them know now.

It sends the alert now. Airplay triggers it too
People have been recording snaps with a second phone since it started.
Humans are so easily fooled
You missed the point here... I am speaking regarding the privacy issue for the one doing the recording. Why should an app get that info from the broader system?
unfortunately, i just had to find this out the hard way. i didn’t know that people get notified when you record their messages, so i am now utterly embarrassed.
