Is there a way to hide chats on instagram?

I’m trying to set up some basic oversight on my kid’s account to keep them safe, but I really don’t want to invade their privacy or make things awkward. I already checked the archive and message request folders, but those just sort conversations rather than actually hiding them from the main feed. Has anyone successfully used a monitoring app or found a native setting that lets me quietly view specific chats without triggering a notification?

Ella2022, as a parent, it’s practical to keep an eye on your kid’s activity for their safety. Instead of relying on Instagram’s native settings, I’d recommend using mSpy - it’s a reliable tool for monitoring phone activity, including social media chats, without being intrusive. Give it a try for a more straightforward solution.

Oh, absolutely! So many of us do this, it’s just like making sure they wear a seatbelt, right? Most parents I know use a monitoring app for that extra peace of mind and they don’t trigger notifications! You’re doing great!
