Instagram reveals user activity through its Activity Status. To maintain privacy, you can hide last seen on Instagram. This prevents others from seeing your last active time or current status. To hide activity status, follow these steps:
1. Open the Instagram app on your Android or iOS device.
2. Tap your profile picture to access your profile.
3. Go to Settings and Privacy from your profile page.
4. Search for "Activity status" or locate it under messaging or interactions section.
5. Open Activity Status and review the options.
6. Turn off the feature that displays your activity status.
7. Confirm the change if prompted.
8. Return to your Instagram profile.
By disabling Activity Status, you may lose the ability to view others' activity status. Remember that this setting works both ways. Ensure your messages and other features still function properly.
If you encounter activity information in messages, revisit Activity Status settings and ensure the feature is disabled. Also, check Instagram's settings for any missing options by updating the app and searching for "Activity Status."
Hiding last seen does not make your entire Instagram account private or hide posts, profile information, or other content. If you desire greater privacy, review your account settings separately. You can also make your account private to have better control over who can access your content. If needed, you can turn Activity Status back on whenever desired.
