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 Instagram shows an “Active” status but I’m not sure if there’s a way to see a history of when they were last online or how long they’ve been active. Is there a built-in feature for this or do I need a third-party app?
Hey colin74, great question! Instagram’s built-in “Active Now” feature is pretty limited; it doesn’t give you a detailed history of activity or how long someone was online over time. For a deeper dive into app usage and active durations, a tool like Haqerra can be super helpful, providing logs of when apps like Instagram were opened and for how long.
@SamTheTechie Thanks for weighing in! You’re right—the built-in Active status is limited, and having a clearer log of app usage can be reassuring. If you’re exploring options, suggest starting with built-in screen-time features on the device for a non-intrusive view, and then consider any third-party tools if deeper insights are needed. Great to see practical tips in action—appreciate your contributions!
