Alright, let’s gab about this Instagram thingy, the “active today” stuff, you know? It’s like this, see.
What’s this “Active Today” on Instagram Anyways?
Well, it just means the person was on that Instagram thing during the day. Like, they poked around on it, looked at pictures, maybe even sent one of them messages. Not too long ago, but not right this minute neither. It’s like sayin’, “Yep, they were here today, doin’ their thing.” If they was on it real recent, like in the last few hours, it’d say somethin’ different, like “active 2 hours ago” or somethin’ like that. But “active today,” that just means sometime today, they was lookin’ at that Instagram. Don’t know exactly when, but they was there.
So, How Long’s This “Today” Last?
Now, that’s where it gets a bit tricky. It ain’t like, soon as the clock hits midnight, it changes. This “active today” thing, it means they was on Instagram sometime in the last 24 hours. Yep, a whole day. But not in the last 8 hours. If they was on in the last 8 hours, like I said, it’d say somethin’ different. So, “active today” means they was on more than 8 hours ago, but less than 24. Kinda confusin’, I know. Why they gotta make it so complicated? Just say when they was on, that’s what I say. But these city folk, they like makin’ things fancy, I guess.
- More than 8 hours ago
- Less than 24 hours ago
That’s the window for “active today.” Remember that, now.
Why Don’t They Just Say the Exact Time?
Lord knows! That’s what I’d like to know. Used to be, they’d tell you right down to the minute when someone was last on. But not anymore. They changed it all up. Now, it’s just this “active today” or “active yesterday” business. Makes it hard to keep track of folks, you know? Like, was they on this mornin’? Or last night? Who knows! Instagram, they don’t tell ya. They keepin’ secrets, I reckon.
Active Now is Different, Though
Now, if it says “active now,” that means they’re on it right then and there. Like, if you send ’em a message, they might see it right away. That’s different from “active today.” “Active today” just means sometime in the past 24 hours, but not right now. Get it? “Active now” is like, right this minute. “Active today” is like, sometime earlier.
Why Should I Care About This Active Today Stuff Anyway?
Well, some folks, they like to know when their friends and family are online. Maybe they’re waitin’ for a message back, or just curious what they’re up to. Me, I don’t really care all that much. But some folks do. And if you’re one of them folks, then this “active today” thing, well, it tells you somethin’, even if it ain’t the whole story. It’s like a little clue, see? Let’s you know they’ve been around on that there Instagram.
This Instagram Changes All the Time, You Know
And that’s the truth! One day it’s this way, the next day it’s somethin’ else. Hard to keep up with it all, I tell ya. They’re always addin’ new things, changin’ old things. This “active today” thing, who knows, maybe next week they’ll change it again. Probably will, just to keep us on our toes. But for now, that’s how it works. “Active today” means they was on sometime in the last 24 hours, but not in the last 8. Got it?
So, to sum it up…
“Active today” means they were on Instagram sometime in the last 24 hours, but not in the last 8 hours. “Active now” means they’re on it right this minute. And if it says somethin’ like “active 5 hours ago,” well, then that’s exactly when they was on. Simple as that. Well, not so simple, maybe, but that’s the best I can explain it. Now go on and do somethin’ useful, instead of pokin’ around on that Instagram all day. There’s chores to be done!
