Take Control of Your Inbox: How to Turn Off Read Receipts on Instagram

Do you ever feel pressured to respond to an Instagram message immediately just because the sender can see you've read it? Well, fret no more! Instagram allows you to turn off read receipts, giving you the freedom to read messages at your own pace.

This guide will walk you through two ways to manage read receipts on Instagram:

  • Disabling read receipts for all chats: This is a great option if you prefer complete privacy across all your conversations.
  • Disabling read receipts for specific chats: This allows you to customize your privacy settings for individual chats.

Freedom to Read Without Pressure

By turning off read receipts, you can take control of your Instagram inbox. You can browse messages without the sender knowing, giving you time to formulate a thoughtful response or simply read them at your convenience.

Here's How to Turn Off Read Receipts for All Chats:

  1. Open the Instagram app and tap on your profile picture in the bottom right corner.

  2. Tap on the three horizontal lines in the top right corner to access your Settings.

  3. Navigate to Privacy and then tap on Messages and story replies.

  4. Under the "Show read receipts" option, toggle the switch off.

Turning Off Read Receipts for Specific Chats

If you only want to disable read receipts for a specific conversation, follow these steps:

  1. Open the desired chat on Instagram Direct.

  2. Tap on the recipient's name at the top of the chat window.

  3. Select Privacy & safety.

  4. Toggle the switch off next to Read receipts.

Things to Remember

  • Disabling read receipts works both ways. Once you turn them off, you won't be able to see if others have read your messages either.
  • Your online activity status might still be visible, so someone might guess you've seen their message based on your activity.
  • For complete invisibility, consider hiding your activity status as well. This removes the green dot next to your profile picture, indicating you're online.

By following these steps and keeping these points in mind, you can manage your Instagram read receipts and enjoy a more relaxed and pressure-free messaging experience.
