Ever wish you could browse Instagram DMs without the pressure of an immediate response? You're not alone! Sometimes, you just need to peek without the sender knowing you've already seen their message. Luckily, Instagram offers a way to disable read receipts, giving you back control of your messaging experience.
Here's the lowdown: You can't turn off read receipts for *everyone* on Instagram. However, you *can* disable them for individual conversations. Simply open the specific chat where you want to hide your 'seen' status, tap on the person's name at the top to access their profile, and then select 'Privacy and Support'. Look for the 'Read Receipts' option and toggle it off.
Remember, this only affects that specific conversation. You'll need to repeat these steps for each chat where you want to disable read receipts. Also, keep in mind that if the other person in the chat has read receipts disabled, you won't be able to see when they've read your messages either. Enjoy your newfound DM privacy!
