How to see last Instagram login even if hidden

If you are wondering how to see the last login on Instagram you must first know that, on the same wave line as Facebook, Messenger and Whatsapp, Instagram has also introduced the possibility of seeing the last login of users with an update released at the beginning 2018.

In this regard, from the moment your intent is to know the activity status of your contacts, you will be happy to know that the function is active by default for all users, regardless of the type of account held (personal or corporate. ), and is located in the Settings> Privacy> Activity status section.

However, you should also know that it is not possible to know the last access of all users, but only of those with whom you have exchanged a private message or who have mentioned you in a story.

Furthermore, this functionality has a reciprocity constraint and, therefore, it is not possible to see the last access of a user if the latter has deactivated this functionality or if the activity status is deactivated on your account. Make sure, therefore, that you have not mistakenly deactivated this feature, otherwise it will not be possible to see the activity status of other Instagram users.

Having clarified this, you will be happy to know that you can use this feature through the Instagram app for Android devices (downloadable from the Play Store or from alternative stores ) and iOS / iPadOS (downloadable from the App Store ) and also from PC, using the Web version of Instagram or its application for Windows 10.

How to see last login Instagram

After the necessary premise on the functioning and the limitations of the last access to Instagram, let’s get to the heart of the guide and see how to view the last access of users.

From Android and iOS

To see the last access on Instagram from Android and iOS then take your smartphone or tablet and start Instagram by tapping on its icon on the home screen.

Once this is done, if required, enter your details in the Phone number, username or email and Password fields, then tap the Login button to connect to your account. If you have any problems, you can read my detailed guide on how to access Instagram.

Now, press the icon of paper plane present at the top right or swipe to the right, to access the section relating to private messages in which you can view the contacts who have mentioned you in a story, who have sent you a private message or to whom you have sent a private message.

Once this is done, having identified the contact of your interest, you can understand the last access by viewing one of the entries next to the user’s name.

• Active Now: Means the user is online.
• Active [number] mins ago: The contact is offline, but was active a few minutes ago.
• Active [number] h ago: The user has not logged on for a few hours.
• Active today: if the user has not been online in the last 4-5 hours, but logged in during the day.
• Active yesterday: The contact was last accessed a day ago.

You must know that, unlike what you might imagine, the last access viewed is not only related to the Direct section but indicates the last connection on Instagram.

Furthermore, you cannot view the activity status of users who have not connected for more than two days: in fact, instead of the Active / you will see the last message sent or received and the time elapsed.

Among other things, you will surely be interested to know that you can view the last access of users even by creating a new Story.

To do this, on the main Instagram screen, tap the + button at the top left of your photo, then customize your story by adding photos, videos and text and then press the Send to button.

In this section, you can view the Suggested and Recent users to whom you can direct your Story and, under the contact name, you will be shown their last login, identical to what you can see in the section dedicated to direct messages.

In this regard, if you have never created a story and are having trouble doing this, you can read my in-depth guide on how to put photos on Instagram story.

Again, in order to see the Status of activity, you must have exchanged a private message or been mentioned in a History of the contact of your interest.

From PC

You can see the last time a user logs also on PC, by connecting to the official website of Instagram or using its application for Windows 10.

In both cases, log into your account, if you have not already done so and press on the airplane icon located in the upper right corner, to go to the private messages section.

At this point, identify the user of your interest and refer to the wording that is shown to you in correspondence with his name, which will indicate the day or time when he last accessed Instagram. If currently connected, however, you will be shown a green dot and the words Active now.

How not to show last access Instagram

If you do not want to show your contacts your State of activity, you can choose to disable the last access to Instagram. Before proceeding, however, I remind you that disabling this feature, in addition to not showing your last login, will not even allow you to know that of your contacts.

From Android and iOS

To disable the activity status from smartphones and tablets, start the Instagram app on your Android smartphone or tablet or on your iPhone or iPad and presses on the thumbnail of your profile in the bottom menu to access your profile section.

Now, tap on the menu icon at the top right and then press on Settings> Privacy> Activity status. Then move the lever from ON to OFF and that’s it.

From PC

To disable the activity status from PC, by acting from the official Instagram website or using the social network application for Windows 10 the procedures to be carried out are the same.

Connect, therefore, to the photographic social network, by logging in to your account, if necessary, then press on the profile icon located at the top right, in order to click on the Settings item, which refers to the section of the same name.

Once this is done, click on Privacy and security and, finally, remove the checkmark on the item Show activity status.

How to see the last access Instagram without direct

The activity status function is the only solution that allows you to know exactly the last access to Instagram by a user. However, it is possible to put into practice some tricks, to know at least when the activity of the contact to be “spied” dates back.

The first solution that you can consider is, in fact, to check the profile of the person of your interest, to see when he published the last photo in the Posts or in the Stories.

Then press on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left, type the name of the contact to search in the Search field  (located at the top) and tap on the name of the person you are interested in, among the search results that you are shown.

Now, press on the last uploaded photo and scroll down to view when it was published: if the image is recent, you can view the entries [number] seconds ago, [number] minutes ago, [number] hours ago  and  [ number] days ago, while if the photo is older you can see the exact date of publication.

Alternatively, click on his profile picture, if it has a red border: in this way you will be able to see the last story published and know, through the appropriate entry located at the top, the date of publication of the same. By doing this, you can assume when was the last time that person was online on Instagram.

To stay up to date on when a particular user is online, you can also activate notifications for the content they post: by doing so, every time that person posts a photo, video or Story, you will receive a notification.

To activate notifications, search for the person of your interest, then press the Follow button (if you have not yet done so), tap on the bell icon at the top right and move the lever that is shown to you to ON, to enable notifications relating to the post, the stories, the videos IGTV, the Reel and live video.
