Xbox live appearing offline

GROMN · Jun 1, 2021

I'm wanting to play with my mates (who actually want to appear offline) but they can never tell when I'm online/have to scroll through their offline friends to find me (if I've messaged them I'm on). I've selected appear online and it says my status is appearing online. To them however, I'm appearing offline. How can I fix this?

I would definitely recommend checking your privacy settings on your Xbox One console. Make sure that you have enabled others can see you online.

It might be an issue with xbox live or your friends could be appearing offline.

I frequently use Appear Offline and haven't heard of this type of problem.

Starting a whole new gamer tag isn't really a solution, I for one would not be willing to give up the 13 years of purchases etc that are associated with my account.

Let us know if changing the status one or more times helps to fix the issue for you.

Good luck!
