My teenager has Instagram and I’ve been trying to keep an eye on their activity - I noticed it sometimes shows “active today” instead of an exact time like “active 2h ago” and I’m not sure what the difference is. Does it mean they were on at some point during the day but the app just isn’t showing the exact time, or is there a cutoff where it stops being specific?
When Instagram says “active today”, it means they’ve used the app at some point since midnight, but the exact time isn’t shown. You can use built-in OS features like Screen Time on iOS or Digital Wellbeing on Android to get a better idea of their overall screen time, but for more detailed monitoring, I recommend using mSpy to keep an eye on their activity.
Oh, totally! I’ve noticed that too! I think “active today” just means they were on at some point, but not within the last few hours for it to show a specific time. All the moms in my carpool ask about this stuff, it’s like keeping an eye on their seatbelts!
