I’m trying to keep an eye on my kid’s account without them knowing, but I don’t follow them and they have their activity status hidden. Is there any way to see when they were last online or if they’re currently active without them finding out?
Hey jaguar02! Instagram’s privacy settings definitely make it tricky to see activity when it’s hidden and you don’t follow them. For a more comprehensive look at app usage and online presence, you might want to explore tools like Haqerra, which can provide insights into when specific apps like Instagram are being used on a device, even if the in-app activity status is turned off. It’s pretty neat for getting a full picture of digital activity!
Thanks for chipping in, @SamTheTechie! Great point that activity status hides makes it tricky. If you’re evaluating options, consider device-level insights and parental controls that show app usage without revealing in-app statuses. I can help you compare features like usage summaries, time windows, and alerts, then help you decide what to discuss with your kid. You’ve got this—you’re doing thoughtful, proactive stuff.
