To appear offline on Instagram, you will have to turn off your activity status on the platform. Although it was much easier to find back in the day, it is not as straightforward now. To turn off the active status on Android or iOS, head to your Instagram profile -> hamburger icon -> Settings and privacy -> Messages and story replies -> toggle off the Show activity status. On the web version, the only difference is that the hamburger icon is at the bottom left corner of the home page.

If you are unsure if someone has blocked you on Snapchat or not, then try out the methods in our guide to confirm your suspicion. To find out if someone has blocked you on Snapchat, we first suggest you to log out and log back into your account. Then, check your recent chats if the recipient appears in it or not, look for delivered texts, check profile details, look for their name in the Friends list, and more.
Snapchat launched its latest AI-powered feature called Snapchat Dreams to allow users to generate AI selfies with ease. This feature requires users to take selfies, feed them to the AI, and it then outputs up to 8 generative AI selfies by placing them against an imaginative backdrop. It could resemble a royal banquet during the Renaissance period or a mermaid amidst a deep seascape.
When you get blocked by someone on WhatsApp, you don't directly get notified about it. However, there are a couple of indicators to look out for if you suspect someone of blocking you on the messaging app. If their profile picture appears blank, last seen status is not visible, your messages to them only have a single tick, calls to them don't go through, or you can't add them to a group, your suspicions have surely come true.
Snapchat now lets you use AI to extend your photos before sharing them to Stories or with friends as Snaps. Called Extend Snaps, this feature is currently limited to Snapchat Plus users. It uses AI to add a zoomed out effect to your images, filling out the background. To use the Extend Snaps feature, click a picture in the app and tap the crop icon on the right, and then tap Extend at the bottom of the screen.
