Instagram has added a new activity status feature in its iOS and
Android app. Considering there isn’t an official announcement from the
company, it’s likely the feature is still being tested and not available
for everyone. However, it does seem to be available for most users
right now.
With this feature, enabled by default in the app settings, you can go
into your direct message inbox and see the activity status of the
people you have messaged below their name. This appears for people you
follow or have previously messaged. The status ranges from ‘Active…’ a
certain time ago or a very specific ‘Active now’ if the user is browsing
Instagram at that very moment.
If this sounds like a bit much to you, then the app does give you the
option to disable the feature. When you disable Show Activity Status,
you stop seeing status for other people they stop seeing it for you.
There were reports of Instagram spinning off its direct message
feature into a separate app and this might be an effort towards that.
