How to appear offline on Discord – our guide for PC and mobile
Table of Contents
If you are wondering how to appear offline on Discord without actually going offline, then we have you covered right here.
To better manage your privacy, Discord lets you “deactivate” your status. So, you appear offline even when you are using the app. By default, when you access the app on your PC or mobile, a green dot appears next to your profile picture. This indicates that you’re online. If you want to turn that off, you can easily do so.
In this guide, we will show you how to turn off the online status on Discord mobile as well as the PC version.
Quick Answer
To appear offline on Discord: Click on profile > Click on ’Online’ > Select ‘Invisible’ from the list > The green dot should disappear.
