Turn off Active Status on Instagram
On Instagram, your activity
status is always set to on.
When it's turned on, allows
people you message and other users you follow to see when you last used
Instagram, as well as whether you're using it right now.
You can follow the instructions
below to disable it if you'd prefer not to share that information, either out
of concern for your overall privacy or to prevent feeling pressured to reply to
messages.
You should be aware that if you
disable it, you will also lose access to the status of other accounts.
You cannot, for example, turn off active status simply on your phone while leaving it on for your computer or tablet because this setting affects all devices linked to your account.

Why does my Instagram show me online when I am not?

can appear to be online on Instagram when you are not.
- You have location services turned on. Instagram will know when you are close to
specific areas if you have enabled location services so that the app can
display you online appropriately.
- You have notifications turned on. Instagram will track your activity and
display you as online even when you are not using the app if you have
notifications enabled.
- There is a bug in the Instagram app. The Instagram app likely has a
flaw that makes it appear as though you're online even when you're not.
- You are using a third-party app. Numerous unofficial apps can access your
Instagram account and display your availability even when you are not
using the app.
You can disable your activity status in Instagram settings if privacy is a concern. By doing this, other users won't be able to tell when you were last active or whether you're online right now.
