Instagram Active - How to Turn It Off

Earlier this week, Instagram began rolling out an update called "Instagram Active" to increase engagement with your account. This update means that your activity is visible to others who follow you. It will also show up in direct messages and in your friend list when you share a post. While the feature is designed to encourage more conversation, it can be turned off. The "Show Activity Status" option can be found under "Settings" - it's currently set to "on."

This new feature will show you when someone last viewed your account. Like WhatsApp, Instagram will let you know when your friends were online by showing them the time stamp. You can choose whether to show this activity to your followers. If you want to display it, toggle the "Show Activity Status" button. This will make your profile look more active than it really is. After logging in, your activity will be displayed. To change your status, click the gear icon on the right hand side of the screen.

The Instagram active today option means that you have used Instagram within the last 24 hours. However, it does not remove your activity history so it will still show the last 2 days of activity. By default, you'll need to toggle "Active today" on your profile to see if you're active. It's easy to forget that you're not online, especially if you're on your phone. In this case, you'll see that your profile says you're not online.

Another way to change the status of your account is to log out of the app. While Instagram doesn't delete your activity history, you'll be logged out of the site every time you log in and out. If you want to remove the "active" status, you can click "Clean" and enter the password again. This will prevent Instagram from showing you're active. In fact, many users find that it's a convenient way to see who's online and who's not.

Another option is to disable Instagram's active status. This feature is similar to what Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp's "Active at" feature do. If you're using it on your phone, you can toggle "Show Activity Status" in order to block it from showing up on your phone. After doing this, you'll no longer have to worry about a cluttered profile. It's all in your hands to stop the spammers from stealing your identity and stealing your privacy.

When you see a message from someone who's gone off the active status, it's important to close the app after you've had a chat with them. To prevent this from happening, make sure that you've closed the app after using it. If you're using Instagram on your PC, you'll want to make sure that you've logged out before you open it. Otherwise, you'll be logged in and the notifications won't be accurate.

In order to make sure that your messages aren't sent to people who aren't online, you can toggle "Show Activity Status" in the direct message section of the app. Similarly to WhatsApp, Instagram's Active status is similar to that of Facebook Messenger's "Last Seen" feature. It shows the last time you were online, and also allows you to specify which timezone you've been in the past week.

You can also use Instagram Active to see who's online and who's not. Unlike Facebook, the "Seen" status on Instagram lets you see who's online and who's offline. This means that a user's profile picture is displayed on the homepage of the application. You can also use the "Active" status to check the status of a person's messages. The message read receipt will tell you how active the person is on Instagram.

If you're on Instagram, you can't see your messages unless you have the "Seen" status on your profile. If you have a green dot on your profile, it means that your friend has seen it. If you've seen it before, that means the person has read it. This is how to keep their Instagram account active. If you've been chatting with someone, you've probably seen their message read receipt. You can also see when a person has been online recently.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
