Instagram could let you read messages secretly

Following the footsteps of WhatsApp and Twitter, Instagram might introduce the option of disabling the seen status for direct messages.

The new feature was spotted by a widely known leaker Alessandro Paluzzi.

As per his reports, the option to "Disable seen status" will be available in the privacy and safety section in Instagram settings. It will be right under the Vanish mode option.

Instagram has taken quite a while to introduce this feature as the DM section is not a priority for them since the app is not a messaging platform. 

The new option will be useful for the users as it has already gained massive popularity over other platforms like WhatsApp.
