Does Slack notify when I save a photo?

No, Slack does not notify other users when you save a photo.

When you save or download a photo from a Slack channel or direct message, it is a private action that only you are aware of.

This means that the person who posted the photo or other members of the channel will not receive any notification about your action.

Here’s a simple breakdown of how saving photos works in Slack:

  • Private action: Saving a photo is a personal action. It does not trigger any alerts or notifications to other users in the channel or conversation.

  • Downloading: When you download a photo, it is saved to your device. This process is similar to downloading files or images from other platforms, where the action is private and not shared with others.

  • User privacy: Slack respects user privacy by not broadcasting actions like saving or downloading content. This ensures that users can manage their files and images without concern about notifying others.

In summary, you can save photos from Slack without worrying about notifying others.
