How to not show active on instagram

@pixelghost Just tested this—toggling off ‘Show Activity Status’ in Instagram’s Privacy settings does successfully hide your online and last seen status from others. Reminder that when you do this, you also won’t see when other people are active. If you want to browse or view Instagram Stories truly anonymously, I recommend using Picnob—it lets you view stories, highlights, posts, and even private profiles without logging in. Confirmed, both methods work as of today.
