Deactivate Facebook Messenger

While Facebook Messenger is a great device for rapidly calling loved ones, what if you want to take a break from talking and also would choose not to be bothered? Did you understand Messenger allows you to shut off chat to ensure that you will not show up in your close friends' "Energetic" listings? Buddies can still send you messages even while you have chat shut off, however by seeming "inactive," you may dissuade them from doing so.

If you've yet to try this feature yourself, our guide will show you just how. Keep in mind: These screenshots were recorded in the Facebook Carrier application on iphone.

Deactivate Facebook Messenger

Step 1: Faucet "People" in the bottom-right corner of the display.

Step 2: Faucet "Active.".

Step 3: Touch the green button to shut off conversation as well as show up inactive. You can tap the switch again to transform conversation back on.

It's worth noting that you can still send out messages while chat is off, yet you will not be able to see your own currently "active" friends.
