How to Go Invisible on Imo.Im

Last Updated: June 3, 2021

This wikiHow teaches you how to prevent your Imo.im contacts from knowing when you’re active on the app. Though there’s no longer an option to mark yourself as “invisible,” temporarily blocking each contact will keep them from seeing your status or sending you a message.

Scroll down and tap Block.
6
Tap Yes to confirm. This person can no longer see when you are active.
- When you want this person to be able to contact you again, tap the ☰ at the bottom left corner of Imo, select Settings, Blocked Contacts, then tap Unblock.
- You’ll have to repeat this method for everyone you want to block/unblock.

Method 2

Method 2 of 2:

Windows

1
Open Imo.im for Windows Desktop.
- When you block someone with the Windows app, you must first remove them as a contact. This means that when you add them back, they’ll be notified. If you just want to be invisible to someone temporarily without them knowing, use the Mobile method instead.

Click Chats.
3
Right-click the conversation with the person you want to block.
4
Click Remove from Contacts.
5
Click Yes to confirm.
6
Click the conversation. You’ll see a message at the top of the screen that says “This person is not in your contacts.”
7
Click Block. This person can no longer see when you are online.
- When you’re ready to allow the person to see you online, Click the imo menu at the top left corner of the screen and select Blocked Users. Then, click Unblock next to the person’s name.
- You’ll have to repeat this method for everyone you want to block/unblock.
