Instagram has introduced an “activity status” which tells your followers when you last opened the app and when you’re active on the app.
What does this mean for you? For many users online, it now means its a lot harder to pree peacefully. Prior Instagram only alerted followers when a user had a read your message.
So get ready for those, “You can’t message me back, but you’re active on Insta” texts. However, you can choose to opt out of the latest feature, using the following steps:
1. Open the Instagram app and click on your settings icon. This is usually right next to the edit profile button.
2. Scroll down to the settings drop-down section
3. The final step, slide the show activity status, so that is no longer blue. This will stop you from seeing the statues of others accounts too.
Happy preeing from everyone at GRM!
