Title: How to hide the last seen status of Instagram activity?
description: Instagram is a leading social media platform. Instagram is very popular all over the world. In the era of the coronavirus pandemic, interest in social media has increased significantly. The Facebook owned app has become more than just an instant photo sharing app thanks to the addition of several new features over the past few years. The ability to send IGTV messages, posts, reels and IGTV videos to other profiles has also been improved.
It is worth mentioning that Instagram is also integrated with the user's availability status. The company calls this feature "Active Status," which allows Instagram contacts to know if others are online or offline. In our opinion, this option is useful if you want to update your contacts on availability status, however, it sometimes gets annoying when you want to avoid certain people.
How is it easy to turn off "Active Status"? Is it possible directly from the Android or iOS app, or do you need to visit the desktop version?
Step 1: Open the Instagram app. Make sure you are logged in with the account whose last seen status you want to disable.
Step 2: Now click on the tab with three horizontal lines placed in the top right corner of your Instagram profile home screen and select "Settings".
Step 3: You will now need to select the "Privacy" option. Here's How To Log Into Windows Laptop, PC Without Passwords

Step 5: All you need to do now is disable the "Show active status" option
After performing the above steps, the status will be hidden. However, it is worth remembering that this will not disable the read confirmation (warning) notification in the conversation window.
