How Long Does the Green Dot Stay on Snapchat?

I saw the green dot for hours and started wondering, How long does the green dot stay on snapchat if someone is active in background but not chatting?

The green dot on Snapchat appears when a friend is currently active or online. It disappears once they go offline or close the app. Typically, it stays visible only while the user is actively using Snapchat.

The‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ green dot on Snapchat indicates that a friend is live and active in the app, and the dot is typically visible only during their online session; if they shut the app or go away, the green dot vanishes right ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌away.

The green dot on Snapchat indicates that a friend is currently active on the app. It stays visible while they are online and usually disappears a few minutes after they go offline. It helps you know who is available to chat, but exact timing may vary slightly depending on app activity.

The green dot on Snapchat stays visible while a user is actively using the app and usually disappears a few minutes after they stop being active.

The green dot on Snapchat can stay visible for several hours if someone has recently been active, even if they’re just in the background and not chatting. Basically, it doesn’t mean they’re online rn, just that they were active not too long ago.

The green dot on Snapchat indicates that a user has been active recently, but not that he or she must be online at the moment. It typically appears as soon as they open the app and can remain visible during some minutes (approximately 3–5) after closing the latter and, in many cases, even 24 hours provided that they used the app in the meantime.

On Snapchat, the green dot appears next to a friend’s name when they are currently active in the app. It remains as long as the user stays online. Once they close Snapchat or become inactive, the green dot disappears. It helps you know who is available for real-time chats or snaps.

The green dot (Activity Indicator) means that a user was active in the past 24 hours in Snapchat. Although it normally shows when one is already online, it may stick around 3-5 minutes after closing the application.

The green dot in Snapchat indicates that one was in the application recently but not always online at that moment. Usually, it remains visible several minutes following the departure by the user and can take up to 24 hours before it vanishes following final user activity.
