Not only will you be able to browse the app in a more peaceful manner, you&#8217;ll no longer see other people&#8217;s Activity status or see if they are chatting. But you&#8217;ll also be able to hide your posts from non-followers. The reason for turning off these features is so that users can enjoy the application without the hassle of constantly checking it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turning_off_active_status_on_Instagram_helps_you_browse_the_app_more_peacefully\"><\/span>Turning off active status on Instagram helps you browse the app more peacefully<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By default, Instagram shows your activity status to other users. It also shows the last time you accessed the app and whether or not you&#8217;re online. However, you can easily hide this information for your own privacy and to protect other accounts. To hide this feature, go to your profile and then click on Settings. Then, tap Privacy. Next, click on Show Activity Status, and then slide it off.<\/p>\n<p>You may have noticed that your profile picture shows your active status to everyone you follow. However, this information will only be shown to the people you follow. This will give you peace of mind when browsing the app. By disabling the active status, you won&#8217;t be disturbed by other users who might have snooped at your profile. Moreover, you won&#8217;t have to reply to direct messages anymore.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_cant_see_other_peoples_Activity_status\"><\/span>You can&#8217;t see other people&#8217;s Activity status<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Activity Status feature allows you to check out what your friends and followers are doing online. However, if someone is blocking you, they will not be able to see your Activity Status. If this is the case, you can try to undo the restriction yourself. To do so, go to the privacy settings of your Instagram account and click on &#8220;Activity Status&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>This feature is only available to the first 25 users in a user&#8217;s Direct Message list. This means that if you&#8217;ve been communicating with a friend or colleague for a long time and you haven&#8217;t seen their Activity status, you will not be able to see it. However, you can still see the Green-Dot, Active Now status. However, you won&#8217;t be able to see the time that they&#8217;ve been inactive. It&#8217;s still unclear why Instagram restricts the activity status for the first 25 users.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_cant_see_if_someone_is_chatting_on_Instagram\"><\/span>You can&#8217;t see if someone is chatting on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering whether someone is chatting on Instagram, you can check the activity of their Instagram profile by following their account and going to the &#8220;messages&#8221; section. If you&#8217;re chatting with someone on Instagram, you can see when they last connected to you, and how many words they typed. You can also see if they&#8217;ve recently posted a story. Using this method will allow you to keep a close eye on your Instagram account without worrying that you&#8217;re being watched.<\/p>\n<p>One way to solve this problem is to add a feature that allows you to see when someone last made a post. Instagram introduced this feature in 2018 and has become a popular choice for users. Unfortunately, it doesn&#8217;t work all the time. In these rare cases, the only way to find out if someone is chatting on Instagram is by checking their last activity status. Nevertheless, you may want to check their status for more details.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_cant_hide_your_posts_from_non-followers\"><\/span>You can&#8217;t hide your posts from non-followers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the case that you want to hide your posts from certain people on Instagram, you must be a member of a specific group. Once you&#8217;ve created a group, you can select the people you&#8217;d like to exclude from seeing your posts. If you&#8217;d like to block certain people from seeing your posts, you can also archive your posts. When your posts are archived, they&#8217;ll remain hidden until you archive them again. However, you can&#8217;t hide posts from non-followers forever.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to prevent certain people from seeing your posts, you can choose to disable their ability to follow you. In doing so, Instagram will keep track of who has followed you and who hasn&#8217;t. If you want to hide posts from certain people, you&#8217;ll need to turn on the toggle for &#8220;Hide comments&#8221; and &#8220;Hide Message Requests.&#8221; If a non-follower consistently posts offensive comments on your posts, you can mute them.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2mv_vwPxMUw\" width=\"471\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"263\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Turn Off Active Status on Instagram If you&#8217;re wondering how to turn off active status on Instagram, you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
