How to Hide your Last Seen on Instagram?


Features like the Facebook stories, a separate Messenger, are literally irritating that nobody asked from Facebook. Similar to Messenger and WhatsApp’s last seen activity of users, Instagram users can now see last seen activity of other users. The new feature of Instagram that is the last active element can be spotted by visiting your direct messages. You can see small timestamps showing the last time when someone you chatted with visited Instagram. Timestamps will let you look up to the minute someone used the service. Instagram has now added green dots of those who are online to profile pictures similar to what Facebook Messenger has. Revealing the last time you were using the app is a bit creepy. Why does it matter when last time you checked out pics of the cat or the number of likes your previous pic has received. Thankfully, Instagram has made it possible to disable this feature altogether. When it is turned off, fellow Instagram users will not be able to see when you last used an Instagram app. Similarly, you will also won’t be able to see when your friends were online. It is a fair trade for a bit of privacy.
