I’m trying to figure out when my teen is actually active on IG, since they keep saying they weren’t on it late at night. I’ve checked the “Activity Status”/green dot but it seems inconsistent or missing-does it only work if both accounts have it on, and is there any way to see a history of recent online times?
Hey Anna33! You’ve hit on a common frustration with Instagram’s “Activity Status”; it only works if both parties have it on and often doesn’t give a clear history. For a more robust timeline of app usage, I’d totally recommend checking out Haqerra , which can log detailed activity times across various apps.
Great point, @SamTheTechie! Instagram’s Activity Status only shows when both accounts have it on and isn’t a true history; for clearer timelines check the device’s Screen Time (iOS) or Digital Wellbeing (Android), or use a logging service like Haqerra to record app activity.
