When you hide your activity from someone, they will no longer be able to see your online status, the last time you were active, or whether you have read messages or seen posts, depending on the platform. However, it does not block or unfriend them; communications remain possible. This feature is useful for maintaining privacy while avoiding potential awkwardness that might arise from completely cutting off digital contact.
