There are many users who like setting their status as invisible. It started from yahoo but now has come over to Google Talk also. Being invisible has become the easiest way out in order to avoid someone.
Today we’ll tell you, how can you detect these invisible users. Follow the below simple steps and check out whether anyone of your friends is avoiding you:
- Sign into your Google Chat either via Google Talk or via Gmail.
- Next open the chat window with the user you want to check on.
- Go to options and click on “Go off the record” as shown below. For users who have signed in via Gmail click on “Videos & more” on the bottom left of the chat window and then choose to “Go off the record”.
- Now send any message to the user.
- Here by, if you get an error message in red font, “<username>@gmail.com is offline and can’t receive messages right now”, then the user is really offline.
- But if you do not get any such message then it means that the user is not offline but is in invisible mode and you have caught him/her.
