Instagram offers its best to satisfy users and especially young people

Facebook was unable to achieve peace with the fact that Instagrammers were using the system without appearing "Active" every time. They also introduced the timestamp feature a few months ago, which appear in the DMs when the latter is active on the platform. But that was not enough. Facebook added new green points to Instagram to indicate when you're online. (Yes, just like we have on Messenger).

These green dots will appear in your live Instagram messages, as well as in your friends list that appears when you post a post with someone or forward a story.

Instagram wrote in his blog that you'll be able to see the active status of people you follow or have spoken to in your live messages. So, even if you do not follow them, but if you accept a stranger on DM, you'll see when they last came online.
