How to appear offline in Fortnite?

Fortnite, being a popular battle royale game, often involves teaming up with friends for various game modes. However, there are times when players prefer to play solo and avoid party invitations without the need to decline them.

Is there a way to appear offline in Fortnite?

Fortnite doesn't offer a traditional "appear offline" mode. Instead, you can set your status to Away to reduce incoming party invites and notifications.

Setting your status to Away reduces the likelihood of receiving party invites but doesn't make you completely invisible. Here is how.
