Friends cant see me online even though I am online

For some unknown reason, even though I have my account set to online status, and my "log-in invisible" set to off, my friends cant see me online, I just appear offline for them. This really sucks because many of them are unable to see I am playing a game. I don't know why this happens I've cleared cache, how do I fix this? I can see my friends online fine, they just see me as offline.

    Hi @BARRELbushman

    Are you currently using a beta version the client, or is it just the normal version of Origin? Is it happening with everyone on your friends list, or is it just with specific friends?

  • Hello EA_Kent, thanks for the reply! I have 1 friend who I can confirm can see me online, and two who cant. Also a friend of mine appears online but not in-game for me and 2 other friends. It seems very complicated and might just be a general origin issue and not something I can fully fix on my side. Also I am not in beta and none of the friends I have checked with are. Thanks again!

    Hmm, gotcha. Thanks for the details! 

    It is strange that it's not affecting everyone the same way. I wonder if there might be something getting lost in between you and your friends somewhere. Are you currently using a VPN or anything like that on your side?
