Hi all,

The messaging app sign in automatically to windows and Facebook account, but you don't want to be visible to your contacts. How to go offline on both windows live and Facebook account?

To go offline in the Messaging app

1. Launch the Messaging app

2. Right click to bring up the app commands bar

3. Click Status, then Appear Offline

To stop the notifications from people who send you IMs

1. Launch the Messaging app

2. Bring up the charms bar by moving your mouse over the right edge of your screen. Click Settings

3. Click Permissions

4. Toggle Notifications to Off

That works for me. Good luck.

Thanks to netsoou.
