Why having your seen status on Instagram can be a problem
There are many ways to see your feed, and it should be noted that the number of people on Instagram increases by the day. No one wants to feel like they’re missing out on something by not seeing a person’s posts each time they open the app. But this also increases the chances that someone you don’t know is also seeing your posts and potentially commenting on them.
Although this may seem like a good thing, this can be a problem if you’ve set the Instagram on your phone to only show the people you “Like” or “Ink with.” This means that your status won’t show up in other’s feeds no matter how many people see it.
It can also lead to some people liking your posts without you knowing. For example, if someone thinks that a picture of their cat is funny (like me), they could potentially like it and then not tell you about it. If you don’t see this in your list of likes, you may potentially never know about it.
If someone doesn’t like a picture or comment on it, you won’t either. So for example if someone asks a question and no one comments, you’ll never get an answer.

What the Seen Status Feature is and How it Works
The “seen” feature is what Instagram uses to let you know when someone has liked one of your photos. While it’s not an option to turn off this automatically, there are a few ways you can disable it if you want to keep your private content free of eyes pilfering. You can do this by turning off “seen by friends,” which is where people with the same phone number or email address as you see your posts. You can also turn off “location history,” which tracks when you’ve been near a certain place so you know if people were at the beach or shopping and other places you’re normally.
