Tips to keep in mind while changing the status on Discord

• Changing the status to offline means you will be invisible to all on Discord, not exclusively to a server or person whom you want to avoid.
• With the change in status, consider adjusting the privacy settings to avoid interactions.
• In case you forget to change the status before logging out, don’t worry; you will be reminded to change it when you log in the next time.
• If you change the status on your phone, it will appear on your computer; however, if you have a slow network connection, the changes may not reflect immediately.

To conclude, you can appear offline on Discord by just selecting the Status to Invisible on your Discord app on Windows or your mobile phone.
