Who else remembers the days of Yahoo! Messenger? If you want to know if your friend is active, just look at the green round icon. This feature is also available on Facebook, MySpace and more. More or less the same feature is now introduced by Meta in Threads.
According to Adam Mosseri as the head of Instagram, this feature is for users to interact with other users in real time. A green circular icon indication will be displayed on the user's image profile to know who is currently active on Threads. This feature will be activated by default on all accounts in stages. Those who want privacy and want to remain a silent reader, this feature can be turned off through the account settings at any time.
With the introduction of this feature, interaction on a sharing will have a more organic reach instead of being frequently flooded with various replies by bots or spam. Has your account already received this feature?
