I recommend you to use this feature with care. If you’re using this option, then your friends won’t be able to see you online until you turn off this feature. It’ really very easy to use and I’ve shown the step by step procedure for both Mobile and Desktop users.
For Mobile Users:
It’s really easy to use this feature on Mobile devices. However, you won’t be able to use some features as of in desktop but it’s still useful.

- Click on Options menu and select Settings.
- Scroll down and you’ll get an option saying Active Status, click on it.
- Then click Turn Off Active Status.
- You’re now invisible on Facebook.
That’s all for the mobile users. You’ll not be displayed as active or active now to all your friends on Facebook. It’s total privacy and you’ree free to browse Facebook till late night without letting your friends know about it.
For Desktop Users:
Desktop users do have more flexibility here. If you don’t have access to a desktop, then use your mobile phone and request a desktop version of the website.
What’s more offered here is the availability of selecting a number of friends who can see you active. e.g visible as active to a few selective friends, or inactive to selective friends or to all the people. Read down the steps to know more.

- Turn Off Active Status For All Contacts: Choose this option if you want to be invisible on Facebook completely. All of your friends won’t see you active even if you’re online.
- Turn Off Active Status For All Contact Expect: Choose this one when you want to display your active status to selective friends. But, don’t forgot to create a list of people who can see you active. Just enter their name in the box and choose them one by one. (See Screenshot Below)
