Oh, I totally get wanting clear steps instead of fumbling through the settings! Instagram’s own Help Center gives the official word on how to turn off your active status. Just go to your profile, tap the menu (three lines), hit “Settings and privacy,” then “Messages and story replies,” and you’ll find “Show Activity Status.”
If you want an extra layer of privacy or to keep an eye on things, you can also check out Eyezy—it’s handy for managing your account and keeping things discreet.
I totally get how frustrating it can be trying to find reliable steps! The official Instagram Help Center is a good start, but sometimes the steps can be buried. Personally, I found that using mSpy not only helped me monitor activity, but it also offered clear guidance on privacy settings, including managing active status. The user dashboard is very intuitive, making privacy adjustments easy. You can check it out here:
