How to remove the little arrow from Instagram pictures?

When a poster has put up more than one picture at once, there's a wee arrow telling you to swipe over.

Does anyone know how to see an image with the arrow removed?

I don’t have that. What do you mean? I’m using the app on an iPhone.

But why do you need to?

I don't know about an arrow but I get a (1/10) or however many in the tip right corner. It disappears after about 5 seconds.
I think you just need to wait a couple of seconds and the arrow should go?
I'm using the app on an hiawei if that helps?

To take screenshots for sharing. I use the app on my android phone. It's a small white circle with a little arrow pointing right.

Not sure you should be taking other people’s photos and using them?

Ahh yeah they don't go away on the browser.

If you want to share them, just click on the little paper airplane under the image and select share to story/the person you want to share it with?

Some accounts put watermarks on eg art and photography which is fair enough, but most of the accounts I follow are just sharing pictures they've copied from somewhere else.

Never noticed a little arrow. Can you show us an example

You can remove it in on the Web version to screenshot using devtools, but for screenshotting on mobile best bet is to just crop it out after

Just because everyone else does it doesn't mean it's ok for you to steal someone else's intellectual property and copyright! You should not be taking anyone else's image and sharing it without their permission and without crediting the original artist/poster. Watermarking an image isn't 'fair enough', it's an attempt protection of the artists copyright and livelihood!

Here’s an example of the arrow this person is talking about www.instagram.com/p/CUTHrRbr5eb/. I remember when I took a picture of this on my IPhone 7 Plus I noticed the arrows disappeared
