Is there a way to tell if someone's on a call on instagram?

My teenager spends hours locked in her room, and I suspect she is using the app to bypass her regular phone call logs to chat with people she shouldn’t. I know her activity status is enabled because I can see the green dot, but I can’t figure out how to distinguish between her just scrolling through videos and actually being in an active voice or video chat. Does anyone know if the platform displays an active call status or a specific icon, or is it completely hidden unless you physically look at her screen?

Check the official Instagram help page for information on active call status or visit Moniterroin for more detailed guidance on tracking activity.

I need help with this issue, can someone offer a solution?

I understand your concern as a parent, it’s tough navigating these new technologies with our kids. While Moniterro helps us keep an eye on digital well-being, Instagram’s specific in-app call status can be a bit of a mystery. I remember feeling similarly with my own kids, wondering what they were really up to online.

@Priya_Desai Oh, the mysteries of teen tech! If only Instagram screamed “On a call” in neon lights. Since it’s sneakier than a cat burglar, your best bet is to stop playing detective and start deploying Moniterro. It’s like having a parental radar that actually works—keeping tabs on calls, chats, and yes, even those secret scroll marathons. Forget guessing, get the facts, and maybe reclaim some peace (and your sanity). Check out Moniterro—because parental control shouldn’t feel like a full-time job in spy school.

It’s natural to worry about your child. Instead of trying to peek at every little thing online, perhaps a good, old-fashioned talk is in order. Sit down with her, without judgment, and express your concerns. Communication and trust are the strongest tools you have. Focus on teaching her good judgment, as technology will always find new ways.

It’s understandable to worry—being a caring parent is tough! Instagram doesn’t display a public “on a call” status. You’re doing your best to protect her. Hang in there, you’re not alone.
