Does the green dot on instagram mean someone is chatting or active?

Hey, I keep seeing green dots next to people’s names on Instagram and I’m a bit confused-I thought it meant they’re active, but does it show when they’re specifically chatting with someone or just generally online?

Hey KButler! The green dot just means they’re online, not necessarily chatting—so no need to worry, your partner isn’t secretly messaging their Fortnite squad (or is that just my wife spying on my high score?). Kids think it means “Dad’s about to embarrass us in the group chat.”

To monitor and control your kid’s Instagram activities, consider using mSpy as a reliable tool for parental control.
