Want to stay online on TikTok but away from the eyes? Follow the guide to know how you can appear offline on TikTok. We shall see the steps to do the same, along with some more ideas. So, let us begin.
Can we appear offline on TikTok?
Yes, you can. With the platform’s updated and enhanced privacy policies, TikTok gives you control over your online presence with the Activity Status feature. This comes in handy when you want to spend some ‘me time’ without others noticing. So, if you want to browse without others knowing you’re active, just go into your settings and toggle it off. We shall see the detailed steps to this in the next section.
When you disable your Activity Status, your mutual followers won’t be able to see that little green dot indicating you’re online. But the thing is, you also lose the ability to see their activity status as well. However, if you really want to do it, you can do so.
Can someone specifically hide their activity status from me on TikTok?
Well, not really. They can’t hide it just from you individually and will have to do it for everyone if that’s what they want to do. The feature is an unbiased switch that switches off this feature for everyone, and not anyone in particular. If they turn their Activity Status off in their privacy settings, no one can see their online status, including you or anyone else, for that matter. It immediately stops the visibility on both sides, which means that you can’t see if they’re active, and they can’t see your status either. Alternatively, if they block you, you won’t be seeing their activity anyway.
