Appearing offline when I'm online

This is a current issue with xbox, hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Hi, John. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

I sincerely do apologize for the inconvenience. As of the moment, we have a service alert status on this link for Friends and social activity, it is related to your concern where the status of friends is not displaying correctly, https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status.

The support team is aware of the issue already and they are working on resolving the issue as soon as possible. Please click "Notify me" to get notified once the issue has been resolved.

Sounds like you have your settings correct. Other thing i would check is go to your gamer pic in upper left corner. Select your profile. There is 4 options on that pop up screen. The last one is if you appear online .. Offline... Or you are busy. Double
check that and make sure its showing you online as well.

Go back to Settings and try making all options under profile privacy to Default settings, allowing everyone to view your activities and profile. I am currently not on my console to give a proper route but I know that all your issues can be resolved through
that path.

Go too the option for appearing offline and turn that option off too appear online.
