Instagram are always looking out for new ways to give us a mini-heart attack when it comes to their features, and this new one is no exception.
Following in Facebook Messenger’s footsteps, Instagram DM’s now show your ‘Last Active’ time.
UGHHHHH.
Perfect for when you want to know when your bae was last online… but otherwise, kind of stalkerish.

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

Thankfully, you can actually switch the feature off. It will hide your own activity status, and everyone else’s from you. Go to the settings on your profile, scroll to ‘Show Activity Status’ and turn it off!
Easy!
