The green ‘online’ dot is now finally on Instagram

The green ‘online’ dot is now on Instagram

The popular social networking platform has introduced a new green dot status feature

Instagram is making it easier to connect with friends by showing you when they’re available(online) to chat.

The new status indicator dot will show up in a few places in the app, including your Instagram Direct inbox and the share menu. Status indicators will only show up for friends who already follow you or for people who you’ve talked to before in Instagram Direct messages, and you’ll be able to both hide your status from others and turn off the feature completely if you want.

Instagram stated this in a blog post, that  users would be able to see a green dot next to the profile pictures that are available for chat.
