5 ways to detect invisible users on Yahoo Messenger

Posted on November 18, 2007 at 12:50 pm

Are you looking for a quick way to detect whether one of your Yahoo Messenger buddies is ACTUALLY offline or just Invisible? Apparently lots of people would like to know how to detect whether someone is invisible or not! I only realized this because I’ve been asked 10 times! I’m still not sure why it would matter because OBIVOUSLY your buddy doesn’t want to talk to you otherwise they would not be invisible!

But either way, I guess some people just need to know for the sake of knowing (especially guys and gals who want to know whether someone is avoiding them).

So here’s 5 ways I found on the Internet that you can use to discover whether a buddy is really online and set as invisible or whether they are simply logged off.

Invisible Scanner - Does just as the name suggests, finds those invisible folks and exposes them for who they really are! Worked on my tests.
Invisible.ir - Another new one that works really well. You can also do some other things like check multiple Yahoo users at once and detect a users main Yahoo ID.
Buddy Spy - The other two services mentioned above were web services, but Buddy Spy is a little program that you can download and install on your computer. It suggests that it’s “simply the best in invisible detection”! I’m not so sure about that, but I’ve heard it works most of the time.
Xeeber.com - Another online service to detect invisible users, but I am putting this at number 4 because it didn’t work when I tried it. Maybe the site was down, but entering and name and clicking search resulted in nothing happening! So maybe it was just bad timing by me because some people swear by it!
BuddyCheck - Another program that you can download and install, which will show you exactly who is online and who is offline. This is the only one that costs some money, about $20, so if you’re REALLY crazy about finding out if someone is truly invisible, this is the app for you!

Any other method you use to detect invisible users on Yahoo? Post a comment and let us know! These of course are not 100% correct all of the time, so you should take the results with a grain of salt. Also, test it first on yourself or a friend to see which one works best. Enjoy!

Have u tried the old way? using invitation to conference or something. I dunno if its still working. I’ve tested buddy spy and xeeber. It works fine.

Flavius said on : January 12th, 2008 at 3:25 pm

Careful, lest you get into a fight with your partner over nothing! I’m afraid that as nice as http://www.invisible.ir is, it gives false information. In fact, on a couple of occasions I’ve obtained conflicting information from INVISIBLE and XEEBER at the same time (INVISIBLE said “invisible”, XEEBER said “offline”), and I’m pretty sure XEEBER was correct.

thanks lot

Use any of these with caution, my boyfriend tried to tell me that I was hiding from him because invisible.ir told him and I wasn’t and to prove it to him we tested it, in our very unscientific test it was incorrect 50% of the time…that is when the server was not busy.

invisible.ir sometimes sends messages to the people who are invisible in you buddy list. :|.

thanxs alot

sam said on : April 6th, 2008 at 6:12 am

INVISIBLE SCANNER - is down right now.
INVISIBLE.IR - gives wrong information
BUDDY SPY - i tried this, it doesn’t work
XEEBER - is also down.
BUDDYCHECK - needs to be paid for…

may i suggest, http://2oost.com/ it works, but you have to keep trying to refresh the page, or keep pressing ENTER, since it’s not always sure about the information

desert_rose said on : April 8th, 2008 at 9:19 pm

xeeber is the most trust worthy site , for detecting invisible status , and it is accurate..

http”//2oost.com shows me as offline when i m actually invisible
i never tried buddy spy , the UI looks so complicated

puneet said on : April 9th, 2008 at 2:06 am

Neo said on : April 17th, 2008 at 3:02 am

foofoo said on : June 13th, 2008 at 9:54 am

I tried Xeeber and it actually worked. But I think xeeber is gone now.

Tom said on : June 17th, 2008 at 5:09 pm

Ok Guys , here is the truth about all the websites and programs ..

All websites are fake EXCEPT FOR XEEBER .

xeeber is the only website that worked real fine , but its down now .

currently there are NO WEBSITEs that provide that service , all other websites are fake and do not work .

the programs , buddy spy and buddy check are not working all the time , and they are down in most cases .

i hope xeeber will be back soon .

ali sharifi said on : June 19th, 2008 at 3:40 am

vizgin.com is best of all . No one can hide from you anymore . Detect invisible yahoo messenger users in vizgin.com. Try it once , No busy status and 100% accurate .

Alan said on : June 21st, 2008 at 3:37 pm

Ok Try this website its the best , 24/7 working , not bust at all .. it really works u will no longer need buddycheck or budy spy

Phoenix said on : June 22nd, 2008 at 6:21 am

I’ve just tried Vizgin.com… it works great! It is accurate, I’ve tested it with my own Yahoo IDs. I guess it is now a good replacement for Xeeber.com.
