ReplyDeletegreat very useful.
ReplyDeleteif the contact has set as invisible and logoff from the account then it is not showing red color message.
ReplyDeletein that case message should not show in red right....
@abilash No. you are wrong.
ReplyDeletehi Isuru Udana,
ReplyDeletelet me explain my problem
i have loged off my gmail accont with the status "invisible".
my friend has followed the above steps to check status.When he sent message "red color message is dislayed...."
in this case my friend might think that i'am in invisible mode and not giving replay to his message..
so do u know any other alternatives for this sithuvation..
thanks
abi

ReplyDeleteIf you logged off from your account with the status invisible(what ever the status), then your friend should get the red color msg when he sent something to you. If you are ONLINE with the status invisible your friend will not get the red color msg. That's how it works.
As you mentioned,
" When he sent message "red color message is dislayed...." "
If your friend gets a red color msg,then it is ok. Now he must understand you are not online.
