How do I make sure people can’t download or copy my pictures?

Last Updated: January 12, 2026

You can prevent others from copying your pictures by disabling the public copy setting in your story’s privacy settings.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Open your story and navigate to the Settings page
  2. Select the “Access & Security” tab
  3. Find “Allow Others To Copy & Download Public Content”
  4. Toggle the switch to OFF

Important Notes

  • This setting applies to all content in your story
  • Viewers can still view your pictures but won’t be able to copy them to their account
  • Story co-owners will still have ability to copy content
