Yes, this is not a test or prank. Now Instagram notifies you when you take a screenshot. This situation does not happen in all cases of screenshots on famous social network, of course. Story, profile or direct conversation images do not show the user that you have registered, however there are specific situations where this happens.

The concern with the privacy and intimacy of users has increased in recent years. That's why, in some situations, platforms like Instagram can notify the other person that you've taken a screenshot of the content they've shared with you. Does it or does it not make sense?
Currently, the only way for anyone to know that you've taken a screenshot is when you do so in photos, messages or videos forwarded in DM, also known as direct.
You temporary files sent through the DM, those whose messages disappear soon after being seen, should not be registered. If you decide to take a screenshot, Instagram will report you anyway. At the same time as the screen capture, it will notify the user in question that the image has been registered.
If you “print” a more compromising photo that someone sent you, he will know.
How can I see the print notification?
The notification arrives in different ways, depending on which way the person captured the screen. If it's a text message, a photo or videos shared from your phone's gallery, the notice is displayed in text format right below the message. If the capture happened at the time the content was sent in the conversation, the print notification is located next to the photo or video, with a round symbol.
In other cases, of screenshots in stories, feed or comments on pages on Instagram, the social network does not carry out this control. This is because the purpose of the aforementioned notification is to preserve the privacy of users.
