How Do I Prevent Messenger To Show Me When My Ex Is Active?

Visit Messenger.com, and while there, choose the cogwheel symbol located in the top-left hand corner of the page. Next, choose the "Active Contacts" option from the drop-down menu. To turn the feature off, slide the toggle to the off position. When you turn off your active status, you will also lose the ability to see the active status of other users. Please keep this in mind.
