How to Stay Invisible on Facebook on Android

Open Facebook Messenger. It’s the blue chat bubble icon with a white lightning bolt inside. You’ll usually find it in the app drawer or on the home screen.

Tap Active. It’s the second tab at the top of the screen.

Slide the switch next to your name to the Android 7 Switch Off position. You will no longer appear as Active in Facebook Messenger. When you're ready to go back on Messenger, slide the switch back to the Android 7 Switch On position. You will still receive messages while inactive.
