Instagram Just Added A New Stalker Feature That You’ll Wanna Switch Off Immediately
Of course Instagram has gone and added yet another feature that no one asked for but at least this time you can (and honestly should) switch it off.
While we are still grieving over the chronology of our Instagram feeds, IG decided to take after Facebook Messenger by adopting one of the worst features – ‘Last Active’.
So, now when you look at your Instagram direct messages, you’ll see that it lists when your mates were last active on the app. This is just info that doesn’t have any positive outcomes tbh. People aren’t stoked.
How is Instagram Tryna show when people were last active on messenger .. haha social media has become social anxiety I wana live in the sea where there’s no phones and I can embrace the dolphin I truly am

Ah yes, thank you Instagram for showing me when someone was last active, because I really wanted another way to know when I’m being ignored

It looks something like this, and it’s making us uncomfortable. Let us ignore and be ignored in peace.
GROSS plz no!
The good news is you can switch this feature off and it will not only hide your own activity status but also hide everyone else’s from you. Sweet sweet serenity give it to us now.
So you just need to head to the settings section on your profile tab and scroll down to where it says ‘Show Activity Status‘ and turn that bad boy off. Now just pray Instagram doesn’t drop any more unwanted features on us anytime soon.
