Here are three ways you can do so:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disable_Show_when_youre_active_together_option\"><\/span>Disable &#8216;Show when you&#8217;re active together&#8217; option<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Disable &#8216;Show when you&#8217;ve been active together&#8217; option in Instagram is a handy option that makes it possible to turn off the activity status of a chat between two people. This feature allows other Instagram users to see when you&#8217;re online without having to interact with them. But be warned: this feature may not be as private as you&#8217;d like.<\/p>\n<p>To disable this feature, you first need to go to the settings page on Instagram and click Privacy. Then, select the Activity Status and click the toggle button next to it. Then, scroll down until you see an option that says &#8220;Show when you&#8217;re active together.&#8221; You may also find the feature annoying as you may accidentally open it on your PC or accidentally open it on your phone. If this happens, simply log out of the app to stop notifications from popping up. This way, the app will remember your username and password, but you will no longer see notifications that your follower is online.<\/p>\n<p>Disabling the &#8216;Show when you&#8217;re active&#8217; option on Instagram can fix this issue and make it more private. It&#8217;s also important to keep in mind that some issues can&#8217;t be fixed. In some cases, you&#8217;ll need to block someone&#8217;s account or disable their activity status, which isn&#8217;t an option. Then, you&#8217;ll have to reverse the action to fix the problem.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Access_your_personal_profile\"><\/span>Access your personal profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Access your personal profile to hide your active status on Instagram. You can easily hide your activity status by simply accessing your profile and then toggle the &#8220;Show Network Status&#8221; off. This feature is enabled by default for all users, but you can turn it off by swiping to the left. After the new system update, this feature automatically changes to active status. This mode is also accessible from your personal profile.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have access to your personal profile, click the &#8220;Edit Profile&#8221; button located on the bottom right corner of the screen. From there, you can choose your desired settings. You can also choose the privacy settings that will not be visible to the public. By doing this, you will be able to hide your online status from everyone else. You can also change your privacy settings by adding a password. This feature will prevent others from viewing your private photos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn_off_Activity_Status_setting\"><\/span>Turn off &#8216;Activity Status&#8217; setting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re tired of seeing other people&#8217;s posts on your profile, you might be wondering how to turn off active status on Instagram. Thankfully, Instagram has made it possible to hide your activity status. Just follow these steps to disable your last-seen timestamp and active status. You can also remove your last-seen time from your IG stories. To turn off your last-seen timestamp and active status on Instagram, log into your account, open your profile, and then click the toggle next to &#8220;Show last seen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can turn off your active status on Instagram for desktop. When you&#8217;re on your desktop, the activity status is visible to all of your followers. If you want to hide your activity status completely, open up your profile and tap the three-line icon in the top-left corner. Choose &#8220;Settings&#8221; and scroll down to the Show Activity Status setting. Alternatively, you can hide your profile to keep it private or take a break from Instagram.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoid_unsolicited_DM_messages\"><\/span>Avoid unsolicited DM messages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are two ways to avoid unsolicited DM messages on Instagram: ignore them or block them. Instagram&#8217;s DM function is open to anyone, but users should be careful not to ignore or block any messages that appear to be spam. Unlike Twitter and Facebook, where DM limits are set, Instagram does not. Those that do are blocked for 24 hours. If you receive a DM message from someone you don&#8217;t know, try ignoring it or block them. The messaging option is found under Privacy settings.<\/p>\n<p>Spammers may try to reach you through your DM by posing as someone you follow. But be careful &#8211; this can be dangerous! Unsolicited messages can contain links that contain malicious code or even get you banned from Instagram! Follow these tips to avoid being harassed on Instagram and report spammers.
