Changing your Presence and Status

Meebo for Android 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

To change your presence or status, press your Android device's Menu button while viewing the i>Buddy list, and then touch Set Status. The Set Status screen opens.

Changing your presence

You can click the drop-down menu at the top of the screen to choose between one of 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, type a message into the message dialog.

Once you have finished changing your presence and status, touch OK.
