Changing your Presence and Status

The Meebo app for the iPhone and the iPod touch allows you to change your presence and your status. Your presence indicates whether you are currently available to chat. Your status is a brief message that people looking at your profile will see. Different social networks handle status and presence in different ways, so how your account will appear to your buddies will vary from network to network

Changing your presence

You can change your presence by tapping one of the three presences on the Accounts screen. Your current presence will be indicated by a check-mark.

The Meebo app supports three presences:

  • Available - indicates that you are currently online and available to chat.
  • Away - indicates that you are online, but you are busy or away from your computer or mobile device.
  • Invisible - in most networks you will appear to be offline to your buddies. Some networks will show you as busy.

Changing your status

To change your status tap the chat bubble at the top of the Accounts screen just under your Meebo account name. A keypad will pop up allowing you to enter a new status. Tap Done on the keypad to set your status.
