    FB messenger user asked me how to hide that she's online—not show up on people's active tab. 20 min of searching, and I have no idea. Nuts.

        Great advice for immigrants who'd lose touch with much of family & friends who can barely use anything but Facebook.https://twitter.com/3L3V3NTH/status/915979846236246017 …

        I think you do not understand ordinary people's use of digital technologies. I've tried for a decade...https://twitter.com/3L3V3NTH/status/915981179198652416 …

        I think there are much simpler forms of communication instead of using Facebook if you have internet connection.

        Thanks, everyone, I found it with the help of someone working on Messenger. Privacy options should be the easiest stuff to use; not hardest.

        Tab under people->active that you can use to turn it off. It's there, not advertised, was hard to find for me.https://twitter.com/citizen_of_now/status/915983888614293505 …

        Yes, hard to find and turn-off active status, but made immediately easy and people nudged to turn it back on.https://twitter.com/ricfouad/status/915987590360260608 …

        And how easy do they make it to it turn back on after hiding the off switch? Right away, this pops up: pic.twitter.com/gjAah7uYGh

        Would be useful for me too. My mom always tries to msg me, because it looks like I'm logged in via my phone. Tech is hard, even for techies.

        Found those instructions. Android; don't see any toggle. I'm a pretty experienced user.
