Ensure That You Haven’t Blocked
You also need to ensure that you haven’t blocked if you can’t see online status of only one individual. To do that, go to Facebook instead of Messenger. Try look at profile page of your friend. If you can’t see her profile when you are login but can see it when you are log out. It means you have been blocked by her/him. As we have told before, this is not for those who can’t see online status of friends. This is just for those who can’t see the status for one person.
