does anyone know what it means to have a blue dot next to some of your contacts pics?

[Android Central Question]

sometimes they are blue and sometimes theres nothing there. Does it mean they are online or something?

Welcome to Android Central!

Which app are you using when you see the blue dot next to your contacts? Is it the stock Contacts app, or in a messaging app, or something else?

Without knowing any of that, I can only guess, but it sounds like an online status indicator.

Like this? I'm wondering what these blue dots mean myself. I just noticed them.
