Once this option is activated, your online status will not be visible on any of the devices connected to your Instagram account.
If you use a device Androidthe process is very simple: in this case, access your profile page, open the menu Settings using the three horizontal lines icon, select Settings and privacyThen Messages and responses to stories and finally, Show activity status to deactivate the option.
For users who have an iPhone, the steps are similar: open the Instagram app, tap the profile picture, access the settings menu Settings and select Privacy and then Messages and responses to stories: here you will find Show activity status to turn off the online status display.
How to deactivate the option from your PC
It must be said that deactivating this option can also be implemented from the PC, if you do not have the smartphone app.
In this case, therefore, log in to Instagram via the website, then click on the Profile item and then choose the icon Settings. After selecting Settings and privacychoose How others can interact with you and, in this way, you can deactivate the activity state.
Instagram, in any case, also makes it available other tools to make your online status invisible to specific users.
This step, therefore, can be carried out blocking the user or applying restrictions via the options available by clicking on the three dots on the user’s profile page. By blocking a user, all connections with him or her are interrupted, while applying restrictions effectively limits interactions and therefore prevents the user from seeing your online status.
Of course, this is a more drastic measure that can be useful when a user is nagging or comments in an insistent and/or negative manner under the contents you post on your profile, in the photo stream, in the Reels and in the stories.
