I’m trying to enforce a solid bedtime for my teenager, but their profile showed them online at 2 AM even though they swear their phone was locked on the charger all night. I know background processes can sometimes cause weird glitches, but I’ve tested my own account and the timestamps always seem perfectly synced whenever I close the app. Has anyone figured out if kids can use up some kind of trick to manipulate their activity status, or does the platform genuinely just bug out and display the wrong time occasionally?
Sorry, but your kid probably wasn’t sleeping at 2 AM. Instagram’s “last active” is usually pretty spot-on—you can’t easily fake it. If you really want to know what they’re up to, mSpy is your best bet for real answers.
