Tired of feeling the pressure to instantly respond to DMs? Want to browse Instagram in peace without everyone knowing you're online? Good news! You can easily disable your active status and become a ghost in the Insta-machine.
Here's the super-simple process:
1. **Head to Your Profile:** Open Instagram and tap your profile picture in the bottom right corner.
2. **Open Settings:** Tap the three lines (menu icon) in the top right and select 'Settings'.
3. **Find Privacy:** Scroll down and tap on 'Privacy'.
4. **Activity Status:** Tap on 'Activity Status'.
5. **Toggle it Off:** Simply toggle the 'Show Activity Status' switch to the 'off' position.
That's it! Now you can roam Instagram incognito. Keep in mind that turning off your activity status also means you won't be able to see when your friends are online. Enjoy your newfound privacy!
