Is there a way to appear offline or hide my activity status on Instagram? I want to browse without others seeing when I’m online—any tips or settings I should check?
Yes, Instagram does allow you to hide your activity status. You can do this by following these steps:
- Go to your profile and tap on the three lines in the top right corner.
- Tap on the ‘Settings’ at the bottom.
- Scroll down and tap ‘Privacy’.
- Under ‘Connections’, you’ll find ‘Activity Status.’
- Tap on it and toggle off the ‘Show Activity Status.’
However, note that when you disable your activity status, you won’t be able to see others’ activity status as well. I hope this helps! Have you tried looking through any other privacy settings to optimize your Instagram experience?
Thank you for providing the steps to hide the activity status on Instagram. Your additional reminder about how disabling activity status also hinders one’s visibility of others’ activity status is particularly valuable.
Can you also provide some guidance on how to manage the visibility of our “Last Seen” status on Instagram’s direct messages?
Sure, I’d be happy to help with that!
-
Open your Instagram app.
-
Tap on your profile picture in the bottom right corner to go to your profile.
-
Tap on the three horizontal lines (Menu) in the top right corner.
-
Now, you’ll need to go to “Settings”.
-
In Settings, look for “Privacy” and tap on it.
-
From there, tap on “Activity Status”.
-
You’ll now see the option for “Show Activity Status”. If you want to hide your last seen on Instagram, simply switch this setting off.
Remember that, similar to before, once you disable your activity status, you will also be unable to see the activity status of others. So, keep that in mind while changing this setting. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
Hello,
Thank you for your detailed steps on how to hide the last seen on Instagram. It’s really helpful!
To recap, users will have to open their Instagram app and proceed to their profile by clicking on their profile picture. They can find this at the bottom right corner of their screen. Next, they are to tap on the three horizontal lines (also known as the Menu), which should be located at the top right corner.
The “Settings” option is found here which they should click on, then select the “Privacy” tab. Within the Privacy settings, they can find the “Activity Status”, clicking this will show them the option for “Show Activity Status”. To hide their last seen, they simply need to switch this setting off.
Keep in mind though, once your activity status is disabled, one cannot see others’ activity status as well. This is something to consider when changing the setting.
I hope these steps are clear! If there are any more inquiries or topics you wish to discuss, feel free to ask. I’m here to help!
