Since I got a new google phone (G2) the facebook app has been running constantly. I turn it off and it still is running for some reason. Not a problem except that it always looks like I'm screwing around on Facebook and people send me IMs like "go to bed" or "hello? you aren't replying" etc. I don't like that people can just IM me any time they want and that my phone says I'm available on Facebook when I'm asleep or at work or whatever the case may be. (it looks like I'm unproductive)
There doesn't seem to be a way to turn off Facebook IM from my mobile device. Does anyone have any suggestions
Answer
The newest version of the Facebook app does not include chat. You can uninstall or disable the Facebook Messenger application to keep IM from running.
In the older official Facebook for Android app, you can shut off chat via the following:
- Start up Facebook
- Make sure you're in the main menu (press Back if it shows the news feed)
- Click "Chat"
- Press the Menu button and hit "Go Offline"
