Technical Breakdown: Appear Offline and Party Invite
The “Appear Offline” feature in party invites operates by modifying the user’s online status on the platform. When enabled, it suppresses the user’s online presence, preventing other users from viewing them as active or online. Technically, the feature works by adjusting the user’s presence status to “offline” during the duration of a party invite. This modification is achieved through a change in the user’s account settings, specifically the “Online Presence” parameter, which can be set to “Appear Offline” manually or through the party invite interface.
