How to turn on Activity Status?
How to see who is currently active in a chat on Instagram?
Once youve activated the Activity Status option, you might see online users.
What if you dont see the green dot?
Remember that technology is not infallible and can sometimes exhibit unexpected behavior.

However, dont let the lack of a green dot discourage you from contacting them.
Many users have their notification options turned on, allowing them to be notified when a new post arrives.

My Instagram shows that users are online, but theyre not.
So dont expect this feature to work 100%.
How can you hide your User Activity?
To do this, follow the steps I described above.
