This How.com.vn teaches you how to prevent your Imo.im contacts from knowing when you’re active on the app. Though there’s no longer an option to mark yourself as “invisible,” temporarily blocking each contact will keep them from seeing your status or sending you a message.
Steps
Open the Imo.im app.
Tap Chats. It’s at the top right corner of the screen.Advertisement
Select a conversation with the person you want to block.
Tap the person’s name. It’s at the top left corner of the screen, next to the “back” arrow.
Scroll down and tap Block.
Tap Yes to confirm. This person can no longer see when you are active.- When you want this person to be able to contact you again, tap the ☰ at the bottom left corner of Imo, select Settings, Blocked Contacts, then tap Unblock.
- You’ll have to repeat this method for everyone you want to block/unblock.
Open Imo.im for Windows Desktop.- When you block someone with the Windows app, you must first remove them as a contact. This means that when you add them back, they’ll be notified. If you just want to be invisible to someone temporarily without them knowing, use the Mobile method instead.
