Are you looking for a quick way to tell if one of your Yahoo Messenger buddies is REALLY offline or just invisible? Apparently, many people would like to know how to determine if someone is invisible or not! I only realized this because I was asked about it over and over again! I’m still not sure why this matters, because your buddy EXPLICITLY DOESN’T want to talk to you, otherwise he would not be invisible!
But anyway, I think some people just need to know in order to know (especially guys and girls who want to know if someone is avoiding them). The main problem is that 99% of sites that detect invisible users of the Yahoo Messenger do not work. They can tell you if a person is online or offline, but in my tests, they were unable to determine that I am invisible.
After testing a LOT of sites, I only list the ones that worked for me with Yahoo Messenger 11.5. I have not tested these services with all other international messenger downloads, so your experience may be different. I don’t even understand why they have so many different versions, but hopefully they all work the same way.
Also, I checked each of these sites on VirusTotal to make sure they are not spam or one of those malware-infected sites that could mess up your PC.
Invisible Scanner
It worked! After trying about 10 sites, I was reluctant to try this one and it actually told me that I was invisible. So there are sites that actually work! Now it’s worth noting that these sites tend to pop up and disappear at random, so hopefully they’ll still be there when you read this post.
Well that’s all. I have not been able to find any other site that actually gave me the correct result when checking my own Yahoo ID! Therefore, if you are looking for ways to verify invisible users, you really only have one option, and it may not always be correct.
Some other sites may work if the person you are trying to check is using an old version of Yahoo Messenger, but since 11.5 it is really difficult to tell if someone is in stealth mode or not.
The good thing is that if someone is hiding from several friends and invisible to everyone, the online status is displayed. So, if you do not see a friend on the network and an invisible scanner tells you that this person is on the network, this means that he is not invisible to everyone, only to you and, possibly, a couple of other people from whom they deliberately decided to hide.
