Steps to Turn Off Active Status on Snapchat

If you’ve enabled your live location, people can see when you were last online. To turn off the active status, you must disable your Snapchat location.

Step 1:

Open your Snapchat account and tap your “Profile” icon in the top left corner. It’s the little ghost that represents your Snapchat identity. This will take you to your profile page.

That’s it. By turning off your Snapchat location, you also turned off active status. From now on, your friends won’t be able to see when you are active on Snapchat.

It’s important to note that disabling location on Snapchat will not affect the filters or location-based features within the app. It only hides your precise location from other users.

Now you can enjoy using Snapchat without broadcasting your every move. Stay in control of your privacy, and have fun snapping!
