Is My GTalk Contact Invisible?

July 20, 2008

Google had recently integrated an invisible mode to its chat, but its contained with a bug.Rahul Bansal (Devils Workshop) figured the bug out and says that the error messages can distinguish the invisible and the offline ones.

So lets see how this can be done. Initially set the chat as off the record with the target user when he/she is online. You can now try sending chat to the user when he/she is invisible or offline. If he is invisible then he will receive the your message and you get no errors. But incase he is offline then you get an error message “user did not receive your chat”

Here a user named Michael is set to “go off the record”, and when he is offline you send a chat you would not receive any error and Michael receives your message, as shown below.

Michael is “invisible”

And if Michael is offline Google will display the error “Michael did not receive your chat”. Offline messages are sent as regular messages in Gmail, but this is not possible because the conversations between you and Michael are off the record. Michael won’t receive your message.

Michael is now offline

So this is how you can find who are in invisible mode and hope Google works on this bug sooner to help the invisible guys.
