Instagram does not provide a feature that allows users to see a comprehensive list of currently active users. While you cannot directly view a list of active users, Instagram does provide some indicators to help you identify when someone is active:
1. Online Status: When someone you follow is actively using Instagram, a green dot will appear next to their profile picture in various places within the app, such as the Direct Messages section or the list of viewers for Instagram Stories.
2. Activity Status: Instagram also has an "Activity Status" feature that allows you to see when the people you follow were last active on the platform. You can find this information by going to your Direct Messages and checking the status under each person's name. However, keep in mind that users have the option to disable their activity status, so it may not be visible for everyone.
3. Instagram Stories: If someone you follow has posted a story recently, it suggests that they are active on Instagram. You can check the Stories section at the top of your Instagram feed to see the stories posted by accounts you follow.
It's important to note that these indicators only give you a glimpse of someone's activity at a particular moment, and they may not provide a complete or real-time view of all active users on Instagram. Instagram prioritizes user privacy, so it doesn't offer a direct way to see a comprehensive list of active users.
