In Skype, other users can use your information to find your account on the app. By default, people can search your name, phone number, or email address to find your profile and start a conversation.

However, we understand that some of you value your privacy on the app. We know that other users don’t want to receive messages or chat requests from people they don’t know on the platform.

Thankfully, you have the option to hide your profile from the search query on Skype. Here’s a quick guide below to help you do so.

How to hide your profile from search results on Skype

If you want to be unsearchable on Skype, you can hide your profile from the app’s search directory. In this way, other users won’t be able to find your account even if they search your name, contact info, or email.

You can hide your account from Skype’s search directory whether you’re using the app on your phone or computer. Check our tutorials below, and we’ll show you how.
