Alright, so you wanna know about this Instagram “active” thing, right? Like, how much you can trust it? Well, lemme tell ya, it ain’t always what it seems. You know, like them fancy city folks with their shiny shoes, sometimes things ain’t as good as they look.
First off, that little green dot… Yeah, the one that says you’re online. They say it’s supposed to show you right then and there, but I ain’t so sure. I heard it takes a few minutes, sometimes even ten, after you get on Instagram for that thing to pop up. So, you might be off doing your chores, milkin’ the cows or somethin’, and people still think you’re glued to your phone. Makes no sense, right?
And then there’s this location thing. If you got that turned on, well, it messes things up even more. Why they gotta make it so complicated? Back in my day, if you wanted someone, you just hollered. No fancy dots or locations needed.
Now, they say even if you ain’t using the app, but it’s still open in the background, that green dot stays on. Imagine that! You just forgot to close it good, and everyone thinks you’re busy lookin’ at pictures. It’s like leavin’ the porch light on when you ain’t home. People get the wrong idea.
- So, the green dot ain’t always right on time. It’s a bit slow, like my old rooster in the mornin’.
- And that location thing? Just makes it worse, confusing everyone.
- App’s open in the back? Green dot’s still on. Sneaky, ain’t it?
I tell ya, this whole “active” thing is like tryin’ to catch a greased pig. Just when you think you got it, it slips right outta your hands. It ain’t reliable, that’s for sure. Too many things messin’ it up.
They talk about algorithms and updates and whatnot… Sounds like a bunch of hogwash to me. Why can’t they just make it simple? If you’re on, you’re on. If you’re off, you’re off. No need for all this fancy talk.
I heard some folks sayin’ the app don’t always get the information right. Like, it misses stuff, you know? So, even if you were online, it might not show it. Or it might show you online when you weren’t. It’s all a bit of a mess, if you ask me.
And don’t even get me started on those “inconsistent updates.” One minute it says you’re here, the next minute you’re gone. It’s like chasin’ chickens in the yard – you never know where they’re gonna go next. Makes it hard to know who’s really around and who ain’t.
So, what’s the bottom line? Well, don’t you go believin’ everything you see on that there Instagram. That “active” status? Take
