TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Instagram announced a new feature of its platform, an indicator of active status. The feature will allow you to see when your friends active, as reported by Hyperbast, July 21.


Instagram Info Center explained, “When your friends are active on Instagram, you’ll see a green dot next to their profile picture in various spaces within the app, including the Direct inbox and your friend list when you share a post from feed.” However, the active status is only available for friends who follow you and text you via Direct Message.


For those unwilling to show their status can non-activate the feature in the setting menu but you cannot see someone’s status should you turn off the feature.


Such a feature had been already installed in Facebook messenger with the same green dot in its platform.


Activity Status will allow you to communicate with your friends in real-time and to control our active status. This new upgrade is one of the multiple huge changes initiated by Instagram. Recently it launched IGTV, a rivalry to YouTube.
