As someone who’s been reading this for months, the best method to read Instagram messages without triggering the “seen” status still appears to be the airplane mode trick followed by force closing the app before reconnecting to the internet, as Elena_Richards described. However, be cautious with third-party apps due to potential security risks. Also, using Instagram features like “Restrict” or “Vanish mode” can offer privacy without resorting to these tricks, which aligns better with respectful communication.
