But your friends have accepted your request for friendship and your friends are not expecting you to spy on them correct?

Exactly. The 'Offline' feature exists specifically to set that boundary, and the backend completely ignores it.

It's about when your friends were last signed-in in their account. From my understanding:

    Invisible = Sign-in but do not broadcast the games you are playing (though your profile will show that you signed-in)

    Offline = Stay offline and do not sign-in

I mean the invisible status is supposed to hide all that, yeah. Why have a "show as offline" if it still shows activity like going online?
