I never wanted to use Facebook as an instant messaging program and instead use Facebook Messenger for that purpose. However, because Facebook has made it so easy to change your online status so that people cannot see you are online, I have decided to do that. Actually, they’ve added a couple of options in the last year or so that let you control it more granularly.
Turn Off Facebook Chat
This is the most effective way to avoid being disturbed by others, as it eliminates the need to communicate with them.
If you go offline completely, your friends will not be able to see that you are online. It’s like the Invisible feature in Yahoo Messenger. Check out my previous post on how to detect if someone is invisible in Yahoo.
- Open your computer’s Start menu and type “cmd”.
- Type “netstat -a” and press Enter.
- Look for the line that says “Internet Protocol (IP) Address:” and type in the address of your online account (e.g., 192.168.1.10).
- Press Enter to save the information and close your computer.
Step 2: Click on the “Profile” tab Step 3: Click on the “Posts” tab Step 4: Click on the “Events” tab Step 5: Click on the “Photos” tab
Step 2: Click on the gear icon at the bottom right of the browser screen and you’ll get a list of some options. One of the options is to Turn Off Chat.
Previously, if you clicked on the option to hide all your friends from Facebook, Facebook would turn off chat for all your friends. Now, you can selectively pick who you want to hide from. This is a great addition.
You can turn off chat for all your friends except some of your friends. When you turn off chat for everyone or a group of people, they can still message you, but the messages will go to your Inbox and not show up in the chat area or in Facebook Messenger.
Facebook Messenger is a great app for communicating with friends and family. However, there are some limitations to the app that can be frustrating. For example, you can’t turn off chat in the app. This means that if you need to talk to someone on Messenger, you have to use a separate phone or computer to do so.
How to Upload and Tag Pictures on Facebook If you’re like most people, you probably use Facebook to keep in touch with friends and family. But what if you want to share photos of your favorite things with the world? Well, there’s a way to do that without having to leave Facebook. Here’s how:
- Log into Facebook
- Click on the three lines in the top left corner of your screen (the one that says “Profile”)
- Type in “Upload pictures”
- Click on the green button next to “Upload pictures.” You’ll now see a list of all of your uploaded pictures. To add a new picture, click on it and then select “Edit.” In the bottom right corner of the new editor, you’ll see a link called “Share.” Click on it and then select “Share this picture.” You’ll now be able to share your picture with your friends!
