We give characterisations of Ω-stable diffeomorphisms and structurally stable diffeomorphisms via the notions of weak inverse shadowing and orbital inverse shadowing, respectively. More precisely, it is proved that the C1 interior of the set of diffeomorphisms with the weak inverse shadowing property coincides with the set of Ω-stable diffeomorphisms and the C1 interior of the set of diffeomorphisms with the orbital inverse shadowing property coincides with the set of structurally stable diffeomorphisms.
