  1. Not showing online despite my settings


    I am trying to figure out why no one can see me online. I have my settings set appropriately. I can join party chats with friends (though I show as anonymous in the list of party members) and receive invites or play online with them, I just never show
    up as online. I've tried working with the online chat techs ([Mod Removed]), but they weren't able to figure it out and directed me here. If you need any more information, please let me know!
    Thanks!

    :)

    Not showing online despite my settings

    Hey Pink Phoenix117 -

    Sorry to hear about the issue. Just to be sure, when you're looking at your profile on your Xbox One console, does the text say, "Appear offline" or "Appear online"? Provided it says, "Appear offline" and you haven't yet, let's have you toggle your online/offline
    setting. Navigate to your profile on your Xbox One console and change the setting, then back out to save your setting, then

    power cycle
    your Xbox One. If that doesn't work, the next thing I suggest doing is making sure your profile says, "Appear offline" then resetting your

    Xbox One Privacy Settings
    to default. Power cycle again and see if that helps.

    If none of that works, the next thing to try is to
    factory reset
    your Xbox One console while keeping your games and apps.

    Give all that a try and let us know how it goes. Not showing online despite my settings :)

    Settings To Not Show Last Online

    It might have been taken out. I don't recall this option, but I've always had mine set to "on". As of right now, I don't believe this option exists in the way you want. Sorry for the confusion!

    I don't think you can split the difference on this. You can either show your overall status, or not at all. Sorry for the confusion!

    Settings To Not Show Last Online

    I looked there, the only option under Online Safety Settings choosing custom is Online Status, which blocks you completely from being seen online. I want to be seen online just dont want my "last online 2 hours ago" showing

    Settings To Not Show Last Online

    Check under the Online Safety Settings. Scroll to My Xbox, click on your Avatar tile, and it's a few to the right. Does this help?
