How to Remove Recent Activity in Steam
If you’re a Steam user, you might have noticed that your recent activity is displayed on your profile page. This feature allows friends and other users to see the games you’ve been playing and the achievements you’ve unlocked. However, there may be instances when you want to remove this information for privacy reasons or simply to clean up your profile. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps on how to remove recent activity in Steam.
Step 1: Log in to Steam
The first step is to log in to your Steam account. Go to the Steam website (www.steampowered.com) and enter your username and password to access your account.
Step 2: Navigate to your profile
Once you’re logged in, click on your profile picture or name at the top right corner of the page. This will take you to your profile page, where you can view and manage your account information.
Step 3: Access the Privacy Settings
On your profile page, click on the “Privacy” tab located on the left-hand side of the page. This will open a new menu with various privacy settings.
Step 4: Modify Recent Activity Settings
In the privacy settings menu, you’ll find an option called “Recent Activity.” Click on the “Edit” button next to it to modify the settings.
Step 5: Hide Recent Activity
In the “Recent Activity” settings, you’ll see several options. To remove your recent activity from your profile, select “Hide recent activity from my profile” and click “Save Changes.” This will hide your recent activity from your profile page, and it will no longer be visible to other users.
Step 6: Confirm Changes
After saving the changes, you’ll be prompted to confirm your decision. Click “Confirm” to proceed.
Step 7: Verify the Changes
To ensure that the changes have been applied successfully, go back to your profile page and check if the recent activity section is now empty. If it is, you have successfully removed your recent activity from Steam.
By following these simple steps, you can easily remove recent activity in Steam and maintain your privacy. Remember that these changes will only affect your profile page, and your friends will still be able to see your recent activity in the Steam community.
