Good and bad

I love it because I can text my friends But it keeps glitching and they should be a little green dot when someone’s online but when someone is online they never is like my friend Sienna. She’s always talking to me and I checked the thing and it never has a green dot so could you please fix this cause it would really help because I don’t know if our friends are or not so could you please do it?
