Instagram Seen Blocker

Read Instagram messages privately without sending read receipts.

Take Control of Your Privacy on Instagram! Enjoy complete privacy on Instagram with Instagram Seen Blocker. This lightweight and powerful browser extension provides a completely invisible browsing experience by blocking Instagram's seen receipts, read confirmations, story view tracking, and typing indicators. How It Works The extension utilizes advanced in-browser network filtering and event management mechanisms: 1. Network Shield (Recommended): Silently blocks seen packets sent to Instagram servers in the background. 2. Sleep Mode: Stops seen signals by informing Instagram that the tab is offline. When you view Direct Messages, Stories, or Highlights, "Seen", "Viewed", or "Typing..." notifications are never sent to the other party. Key Features: • 100% Privacy-Focused: Never collects or processes your message contents, photos, or personal data. • Comprehensive Protection: Blocks DM seen receipts, story/highlight views, and "typing..." indicators. • Dual Blocking Modes: Switch between Network Shield and Sleep Mode with a single click based on your preference. • Lightweight and Fast: Does not consume system resources and does not slow down your browser. • Automatic and Effortless: Runs automatically across all Instagram tabs from the moment it is installed. Note: Even if messages or stories appear opened on your own screen, your name is strictly never added to the other party's viewers or readers list. You can easily test this by refreshing the page or checking with a second account. Legal Disclaimer: • Disclaimer: This extension is provided "as is" and "as available". • Not Affiliated with Instagram: This project is an independent development and has no official affiliation, partnership, authorization, or sponsorship with Instagram, Meta Platforms, Inc., or its affiliates. • Data Security: The extension operates entirely locally (on your own device); your account passwords and private information remain completely safe.
