how to go offline in facebook frnd list

Facebook, one of the biggest social network which has connected millions worldwide does offer other means of communication such as the Facebook Chat. Instant messages can be sent and received just like your messenger without the need of downloading any particular program.

Whenever you login to Facebook, the Facebook Chat automatically signs you in to its messenger. There are times when a user might not want to appear online in front of a particular user or a batch. Most of you might not be aware of this option as Facebook doesn’t offer this part openly. To appear invincible or appear offline on Facebook chat, just follow the following tutorial.

You might be aware of how to create lists in the Facebook Chat. If not, we might want to start from the scratch. At the lower right hand corner, you would be able to spot the Facebook Chat. Upon clicking, the messenger pops up revealing a list of your friends who are online.

On top of the messenger, you would be able to see the friends list tab. This is the functionality which will help you appear invincible or offline. To start off, click the friends list tab:

 

Upon clicking the tab, a dialog will appear asking you to create a new list. For this, I have used ‘Appear Offline To’, in order to indicate which of my users won’t be able to see me. You can use any name and hit enter, which will create a new list in your chat interface.

 

The list would appear empty and waiting to induct a couple of your friends. Facebook would indicate a message asking you to drag users in the area to add. Just drag and drop, start adding a few which would do the magic.

 

Just a small message to all Facebook users who are looking to create the list for this purpose. The list would remain as the last time you left it. For example, if you have added ‘John’ to the list, the next time you login to Facebook, John would appear on the same list.

And now comes the ‘Appear Offline’ function. Right next to your list name, a toggle button would appear. Click it and it would make you invincible in front of the users you have added to the list.

 

You’re finished. Happy Facebooking…
