Hi Gul,

 

Thank you for your message. I believe you're referring to the Availability badge. This is an option designed to help you signal to clients that you are ready for new work now and help you take more control over your services.

 

You can turn the availability badge on and off as needed to signal when you're ready to take on new clients. As you begin to build a steady stream of work on your terms, you'll find that you can create your ideal work schedule. Clients will see your badge in search results, recommendations, and on your profile, and will know you’re eager for new work. I hope this clarifies.

Thank you for your message. I am sorry to hear that the troubleshooting steps did not help. Could you try changing the visibility to Offline and back to Online?

Thank you so much Annie I'll do what you said in your reply and will report back with results.

I also often encounter such a problem, but I think it's the speed of the Internet + version of the system and browser

I'm not talking about the Upwork website I'm talking about the Upwork talent app. 

Why can I switch to online on the Upwork talent app?

Hi Fatoki,

 

Thank you for clarifying your concern. Please note that the option to set your profile (Online/Offline) visibility is not an option with the Mobile App. Currently, the apps will show as online only if the Messages page is opened. I assure you that we'll continue sharing your feedback and concerns with the team and providing updates to the Community about their initiatives regarding this feature.
