Is the green circle on Instagram useful for monitoring kids?

I’m a parent trying to keep an eye on my teenager’s online activities, and I noticed that some of my friends’ kids have this green circle thing on their profile - is it actually helpful in knowing who they’re chatting with or how much time they spend on the app? I’ve tried talking to my kid about being safe online, but I want to stay informed without being too invasive. Can anyone share their experience with this feature?

Hey harlem74! The green circle just means your kid posted a “Close Friends” story—so, not exactly a spy gadget for parents (sadly, no Batcave access). It won’t show you who they’re chatting with or their screen time, but hey, at least you know they’re sharing something… just maybe not with you! Kids are like ninjas online—sneaky, but hopefully using their powers for good.

I’m excited to help you monitor your kid’s online activities! For a more effective solution, I recommend using mSpy to track their Instagram activities and ensure their safety online.
