    show offline before I log in online.


    so i played yesterday and was shown as online, everyone could see i was online and what i played. I close xbox and go to bed to sleep. next morning as I want to play, I now dont want anyone to see I am online playing, HOW do I do this ?

    cause if i log in to my account, i am directly shown as online and everyone or many get a notice i guess that i am online... so to do this is not good, they see i log in and am online just to next second change my setting to be shown offline.

    So can i get around this before i log in ?

    and as I understand , if I am really offline, it shows "offline" at my profile.

    If I am playing for example fifa and suddenly decide to be shown offline and change my setting to that, then it will say "last seen online 1 day ago in grand theft auto" if that was my last game i played before...

    but as decribed above, this basicly tells everyone that as soon as they see this message, that person is online but is hiding offline.

    why is there just not a simple box to click to log in as shown offline direct. ???

    :)

    i understand what you are saying but for now the offline option we have is the only one we have. any ideas for ways xbox can be improved or features that you would like to see in the future are welcomed over on the insiders reddit page - Insiders

    show offline before I log in online.

    My suggestion: Keep your profile set to offline at all times unless you WANT to be shown online. If your profile is set to online, it will always show you online, even if you shut off your xbox then come back, guess what? It'll show you online.

    If I don't want to be bothered, I just set it to appear offline all the time.

    hi, I think u missunderstood, and same for the other answer I got here.

    what I mean is : My account is alwayas set so I am shown online. this is done in settings. then sometimes I change it as i play a game for example if I go AFC to eat or so, then I set it so i am show offline. When I am back from food I change it back to
    shown online again. And since I make these changes NOT in setting menu, but from pressing xbox button and clicking left button to the end so I come to my profile popup window, and change it there, it will take some minutes as I understand for it to go thru...cause
    I know it takes some minutes for others to see it and when other do it it takes minutes fopr me to see their change.

    having said that, that is what i think u talked about.

    However that was not my intended question, i wonder this :

    I am playing in evening, shown online. I go to sleep.

    Next morning i wake up, I NOW want to log in and play my game again, BUT, I do NOT want to be shown online. how do I do this ? is it possible at all ? cause as soon as I log in I am shown online, so I need to be shown online to ALL others BEFORE I can go
    to my profile and change it to offline....?

    that's a problem that happens as if it were a bug, but you should still check your privacy settings to make sure it's not a problem on your console

    Hi DOJASH,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. I'd be happy to help!

    You online status should not change every time you log on to your Xbox One. If you've set your online status to appear offline, then it should always be that way unless you manually change it back to showing online.

    Press the Xbox button to pull up the guide>scroll to the left to Sign in>select your profile>Select the status at the bottom and select Appear offline. This should not change no matter where you log in as long as you are connected to the internet and Xbox
    Live as your online status is saved to the cloud and associated with your profile. I can personally confirm that your online status should remain what you set it as not matter how many times you log in.

    Go ahead and do a hard restart and power cycle to the console.
    Hold down the power button on the console for about 10 seconds until it shuts down and then remove the power cable from the Xbox and the power outlet for about 5 minutes. Then re-connect and wait 60 seconds before turning on the Xbox. Once you are logged in
    check your status as it should still be appearing offline if you indeed set it that way to begin with.
