Let’s go through how it functions and then check how to disable it.

The status option displays who you’ve DM’ed, when you were most recent active, and if you’re presently active. Your activity is only visible to those you follow and have chatted with. If you get followed by someone but you are not giving them a follow them back, they probably wouldn’t be able to see your activity. Your buddies are in the same boat. If they follow you, you can really see if they’re still online. When you go to your DMs, you may see your followers’ status.
