keeping a low profile
Avoiding public attention
Keeping a low profile means avoiding attention or publicity, staying inconspicuous.
Someone keeping a low profile deliberately minimizes their visibility—not drawing notice, staying out of the spotlight, or lying low during controversy: After the scandal, he's been keeping a low profile.
The phrase implies intentional restraint rather than mere obscurity.
