Do you also get bothered by the messages of friends' reels on Instagram during work time? Or do you also forget your work while watching the reels forwarded by friends? In such a situation, if you want, you can turn off your online status on Instagram Messenger. It is very easy to do this, and by doing this, you may not be bothered by messages related to reels forward. Often, people forward us messages only when they find us active on the app. In such a situation, by showing yourself inactive on the app, you can focus on work during work time.

The default setting shows active.
Let us tell you that Instagram shows your status as active in its messenger by default. You can see it as a green dot on your profile photo in the Messenger of your Instagram app. Whenever someone finds you live on the app, that is, sees the green dot on your profile photo, then you seem available on the app. In such a situation, any friend or acquaintance of yours can assume that you are using Instagram. Even if you are busy with your work at that time. In such a situation, messages coming one after the other can disturb you or break the flow of work.

Look offline like this
If you do not want to appear active on your Instagram all the time or do not want the green dot to appear on your profile photo, then you can change it by changing some settings of your account. Let's know how you can change this setting.

By turning off this status, you will not appear active or live on Instagram. Also, your status will not appear with a green dot on Instagram Messenger. Whenever you are free, you can turn this setting back on and show that you are live on Instagram.
