keeps a low profile
Avoids drawing attention
To keep a low profile is to avoid attracting attention or publicity, staying out of the spotlight deliberately.
Someone keeping a low profile minimizes their visibility, often to avoid scrutiny or controversy: After the scandal, he kept a low profile for months.
The phrase suggests intentional inconspicuousness rather than natural obscurity.
