    Appear Offline/Online quesion


    OK my first question is the easier one. If the app is displaying appear online, does that mean I need to click it to appear online or does it mean I am appearing online?

    Also am I correct in thinking the app overrides the actual setting on the xbox as it appears to be the case when i talk to my firends?

    Thanks

    :)

    New Xbox Experience - appear offline?

    Ok so I select appear offline which shows in the box and according to what you said I will appear offline but the box has now changed to appear online, but what you say next is that if what I see says appear online then I'm appearing online, so am I online or offline? lol damn it Microsoft.

    Appear Offline/Online quesion

    Hi Zero, Unless you set your settings to restrict content etc...appearing online means you are viewable by your friends and your don't need to click it to appear online. I am uncertain how the Xbox App handles the settings for Xbox One, but I will find out
    and get back to you.

    Thanks,

    Hi Zero, Regarding your second question; the Xbox App does override the Xbox one settings, so if change your account status to "Show Online" in the Xbox App, this will change the status on Xbox One as well. Let us know if you have further questions.

    Thanks for the feedback and support,

    Appearing Offline

    Does the button in your profile read "Appear Online" or "Appear Offline"? It's admittedly a little confusing - you want the button to read "Appear Offline" for you to be appearing online (You'd click the Appear Offline button to actually appear offline).

    online but appears offline

    Hi

    That seems strange. Why should age permissions make a difference? I don't really want to change her date of birth as age restrictions are there for a reason. Thanks for the reply though. I will do some more digging on it.

    online but appears offline

    Hi I spoke to someone that has resolved this for me, if you daughter is under 16 yrs the permissions wont allow it, if you change you daughters date of birth this will be allowed, FYI she will then be an adult and can make her own changes so better keep
    an eye on it.
