The green dot on Instagram indicates a user's active status, showing that someone is currently online and using the app. This feature is part of Instagram’s messaging system and is visible in your Direct Messages (DMs) section. If you've ever opened your messages and noticed a small green circle next to someone's profile picture, that means they’re active on Instagram at that moment, assuming both of you have activity status turned on.

Instagram introduced this feature to enhance real-time engagement by making it easier to know when your friends or followers are available to chat or respond. You’ll typically see the green dot appear in your DM inbox, your friends list in the chat section, or when sharing content with others.

The visibility of the green dot is dependent on a user setting called 'Activity Status.' You can control whether others can see when you’re online by going to your Instagram profile, tapping the three-line menu (hamburger icon), navigating to Settings and Privacy, and searching for "Activity Status." From there, you can toggle the feature on or off. If you choose to disable it, you won’t see others’ activity status either—this is a mutual privacy control.

For users who want more privacy or simply don’t want to be seen as 'online,' disabling this feature is straightforward. However, keep in mind that turning it off limits your ability to see when others are available too.

This green dot doesn’t indicate specific activity like scrolling your feed or watching stories—it only tells you that the person has the app open and is considered “active” at that moment. It also doesn't show how long someone has been online or provide any chat-specific availability like read receipts unless you're in a conversation with them.
