Popular image and video sharing platform Instagram has rolled out its new "Show Activity Status" option for users.
According to The Verge, it is possible that Instagram is only testing this feature for a certain number of users, but it's available for now across both Android and iOS.
One's followers cannot see when they were last active on Instagram.
Only people one follows or has interacted with previously through direct messages will be able to see how many minutes or hours ago they were active.
The new last seen feature is enabled by default inside of Instagram's settings.
One can choose to toggle it off, but, doing so will also disable activity status for other users.
Similar to WhatsApp, the user won't be able to see the last seen information for anyone else.
