**Hiding your [online](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/82115/the-advantages-of-purchasing-office-stationery-online) [status](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/157184/check-lic-policy-status-online-by-policy-number) is really very simple but before mentioning those steps** I just want to give you a quick reminder that as after you hide your online status on Facebook you will also not be able to see who among your friend list is currently online. **However, before disabling you will get some option and you can select any of them as per your comfort.**

## So here are the following steps through which you can disable your online status:

- At first login to your Facebook profile
- Click on the chat option from the right corner
- A list of contact will open who are currently active
- Then click or tap on the gear option
