This often creates pressure to respond, even if we don't feel like talking at that moment.

If you don't want anyone to know when you're online while using Instagram, there's a special setting in the app. After turning this setting off, you can use Instagram comfortably, and no one will know about your activity.

When a user is active on Instagram, a small green dot appears next to their profile. Additionally, the messages section can also display the last active time. This feature is called Active Status.

This feature is on by default, so your followers or people you've chatted with can easily see whether you're currently online or when you last used the app.

When you turn this feature off, your online activity is invisible to others. This means no one will be able to see whether you're currently on the app or when you were last active. This will also relieve you of the pressure to respond to repeated messages immediately, allowing you to use the app at your own convenience.

However, there's another change after turning this setting off. Just as others won't be able to see your activity, you won't be able to see when your friends or other users are online.

Turning this feature off on Instagram is very easy. To do this, first open the app and go to your profile. Then, tap the three-line menu at the top and go to the Settings and Activity section. Here, you'll see an option called "Messages and story replies," which then reveals the option to "Show Activity Status." Once you turn this toggle off, your online information will no longer be visible to others. This setting is available in almost identical ways on Android, iPhone, and the web version.

Once this feature is turned off, no matter how long you're active on Instagram, no one will be able to see when you were last online or when you last used the app. This maintains your privacy and allows you to use social media more comfortably.
