How To Hide Your Instagram Activity Status
Are you a regular user of Instagram to keep in touch with your friends, family, and colleagues? In that case, you may have noticed that Instagram Direct displays a user's most recent activity. It's comparable to WhatsApp's Last Seen feature, but it can be disabled easily if necessary.
Instagram Direct, for those who are unaware, enables users to send private messages to other users. When you open Direct and scroll through the list of conversations, a user's online or last active status is displayed directly beneath their Instagram name. Although this is a useful feature, privacy enthusiasts may prefer to keep it disabled, so that others have little to no knowledge of their Instagram activity.
Are you excited about the prospect of concealing your online status and last active details on Instagram? Continue reading to learn how to hide your Instagram activity status.
How To Hide Your Instagram Activity Status
Hide your activity status on Instagram is a fairly simple and straightforward process, regardless of whether you're using an iPhone or iPad. To get started, simply follow the steps below.
1.From your iPhone or iPad's home screen, open "Instagram."
2.When you launch the app, you're taken to the home feed. To access your own profile, tap on the profile icon in the bottom-right corner of your screen.
3.Then, in the top-right corner of your screen, tap on the triple-line icon.
4.From below, a quick menu will appear. To continue, click "Settings."
5.Now, as shown in the screenshot below, tap on "Privacy," which is located just below Notifications.
6.Tap on "Activity Status" in the privacy settings menu, just above the Connections category.
7.Simply toggle the toggle to the off position to disable Activity Status for your account.
Once you understand how Instagram works, it's fairly simple to conceal your activity. And, of course, you can always undo this if you want to re-enable and display activity status.
From now on, the accounts you follow and people you've texted via Instagram Direct will be unable to see when you were last active or if you're online. Bear in mind that you will be unable to view other Instagram users' activity statuses as well.
Although Activity Status is enabled by default, only people you follow or users you've previously DM'd on Instagram will be able to see your online and last active statuses. As a result, if you have a public account, you don't have to worry about your Instagram followers monitoring your activity.
