How to Hide Typing in DMs on Instagram?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been looking for a reliable way to hide typing in DMs while using Instagram. Sometimes I want to think through my reply without the other person knowing I’m typing.

Has anyone here tested this feature through apps or third-party tools? I’m also curious if it affects message delivery or visibility in any way.

Would love to hear from anyone who’s tried it and can share their experience or alternatives. Any pros and cons would be super helpful.
