Do people get a notification if you download pictures off their facebook album?

Why the long case?
Tangentially related, but, it's cute that people feel so secure in their ability to send stuff on Snapchat feeling that they "know" whether or not someone took a screenshot of it, when the ability to duplicate a cellphone screen on a PC and do a PrintScreen of the cellphone screen is a thing.

Just saying.

Wow its unfortunate how this is set up to be impressive but is actually very far off from falling under that definition

You're mean lol

Reminds me of the time I explained to a collegue why his emails got lost. I basically told him that it's a problem with the cables: the longer the distance, the more bends and because the data is propelled at nearly lightspeed, it's possible that some bits get flung out in high speed corners.

He was really intrigued and found my explanation quite reasonable.

I like that you removed all doubt that you were creeping in one swoop, OP. It normally takes one or two responses before the full reveal.

Feel like the jokes might say more about the people making them than the Op 😉 all our minds went there though I guess

For what it's worth I like the idea of Facebook's Moments app - it allows you to share pictures with interested people so that they also receive copies and can share the content as if it's their own - but nobody I know uses it!

I don't think so.

If you really really need to do this (??) and you really want to be sure nothing is linked to your profile, I guess you could always paste the direct image url into a private browsing tab and save it from there.

Why are you downloading other people's pictures?

Let me enlighten you to a brighter dawn my friend: the snipping tool. If you are on windows 7 or 10 you should have access to this neat utility that should prevent this awkward scenario from occurring in the first place.
 
Screenshot won't do, brehs. Gotta download the high quality versions
so you can print them out and decorate your basement apartment with them with all the eyes cut out

So he can jerk off to an acquaintance without having to log into Facebook every time his weak mind is overcome by thirst for a person out of his league or a person he's simply to afraid to ask out for a coffee like the species of normal well adjusted people would do that we gaffers dont belong to.

Any questions left?

In the amount of time you have spent trying to rationalize downloading some chick's pictures on FB you could have spent that same amount of time trying to get to know her by saying hello and starting genuine conversation.

It's a good thing. Dude's a jizz mop, this woman lucked out.
 
Yeesh
I remember my cousin having pics of a girl he went to high school with saved, creeped me the f out when I went to look up something on his computer.

Why are you all assuming that the OP is downloading these pictures to bolster his wank bank? Perhaps he just wants to make a pretty collage as a present.

A collage held together by dry semen and unrequited lust.

I'm going to air on the side of caution and think OP is just searching for a tag or it was a case of "how can I create a topic that will get 10+ pages of replies?". Then again, some people just really do post dumb things on public forums with hundreds of thousands of users/viewers.

Indeed i privately admired the facebook profiles of other people, by respecting them and the hardships they had to go through to get where they are today.

I swear.
 
Most girls I know have a extension installed on Facebook that alerts them of people doing this. They don't talk about it most of the time because they don't want to seem vain or insecure, but it's there.

Yeah I remember this app or extension that did this a long time ago. Use to tell you who had viewed your gallery, what pictures/videos, your news feed etc. So it's still around?

You guys are just evil

OP has to be young. Has to.

FB/Twitter/IG would lose so many users if their stalking habits were revealed.

Next thread OP makes will be asking if it's true FB will start charging fees to use it.
please copy & paste on your wall if you agree
