Turn off your Instagram Activity Status
Motivation:
When your Activity Status is on, people you follow and anyone you message will see when you were last active or currently active on Instagram.
You can turn your Activity status on or off at any time.
Turning off your Instagram activity status helps you stay more private and avoid pressure to reply instantly.

It also reduces distractions, lets you manage your time better, and keeps your focus on sharing and enjoying content instead of constant messaging.
