How to Disable Facebook Messenger

While Facebook Messenger is a wonderful tool for rapidly speaking to loved ones, what if you want to take a break from talking as well as would favor not to be bothered? Did you recognize Messenger allows you to switch off chat to make sure that you will not appear in your close friends' "Energetic" listings? Friends can still send you messages even while you have chat switched off, but by seeming "inactive," you might prevent them from doing so.

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

How To Disable Facebook Messenger

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

Step 2: Faucet "Active.".

Step 3: Touch the green button to turn off conversation and show up inactive. You can tap the button once again to turn conversation back on.

It deserves keeping in mind that you can still send messages while conversation is off, but you won't have the ability to see your own currently "active" friends.
