Ways To Appear Offline To Selected People On Facebook Chat
Go Offline Completely
I am pretty sure that this isn’t an option you would be looking for. But just for the records, you can go offline on Facebook chat and use the Message feature to talk to the person. Since no one would come to know that you are online, you purpose is solved.
Appear Offline To Individual Users
If the number of people to whom you want to appear is quite small, then this could be a preferable option. All you need to do is open the chat box of the person to whom you want to appear offline and click on the Settings button (gear like button) and click on Go Offline To <Friend_Name> and that is it. That particular user will always find you offline now.
Appear Offline To A Group Of People
Apparently, above is not the right option if you wish to appear offline to a group of people on Facebook chat. Click on the Advanced Settings button and a window will pop up. This window will help you select users to whom you will be shown as Offline on their Facebook Chat. Click on the first option, and type all the names (users), whom you want to avoid on chat.
That is it! These are the three ways to appear offline to selected people on Facebook. Comment and let us know your thought on this.
