How to turn off 'seen' when reading Instagram messages
The Direct Message feature on Instagram helps us chat more personally, more secretly like Facebook Messenger. And when you receive a message from the other party and read, there will be a 'seen' message to let that person know you have seen the message. However, many people do not like the message displayed, do not want the recipient to know that they have read the message for some reason. In the updated version, Instagram has added a Restrict feature so you can read messages without worrying about notifications. So in order not to be seen on Messenger, you have to install the support utility, so with Instagram we have the feature to use. The following article will guide you how to turn off notifications that have read Instagram messages.
