On Instagram they continue to look for formulas to keep users connected. And if they're not, at least know how long they've been offline. Or at least that is what can now be seen in Instagram Direct, where they have slightly changed their design to have this information before entering the chat on duty. Something that should save us time when stalking or checking the status of a person in the application
This is a new indicator that shows old data That is, a signal that shows the number of minutes that have passed since the last time a contact was active on Instagram. The difference is that it now shows on your profile picture directly in Instagram Direct. In other words, in the chat list. No need to enter each conversation to see at the top how many minutes the user has been offline.
Of course, remember that to be able to see the status of Instagram contacts, that is, if they are active in the application and when was the last time, You will also have to have the function active To do this, go through the Settings menu and enter the Privacy section. Here you can activate or deactivate the activity status as you like.Of course, if you have it deactivated you will not be able to see the status of your contacts.
With this, it seems that Instagram wants users to waste less time when it comes to knowing this information. And we save a tap or click to find out Now we have it directly in Instagram Direct before entering any chat. Of course, we have noticed, in our own experience, that for this it is necessary to have had a recent conversation. In this way, if we are the last to send a message and the other user disconnects the application for a few minutes, we will be able to see this indicator in her profile picture.
Meanwhile, the rest of the design and function remains the same. If the contact is active, her photograph is shown with a green dot that indicates her presence on Instagram (not necessarily reading messages).If you are offline, your profile photo is displayed without any indication
By the way, this alert for the number of minutes a contact has been offline seems to disappear when the count reaches 30. So disappears when a contact is not active on Instagram for more than half an hour.
