   Tap a status to use it as the new status

   .

   The current status will have a blue checkmark next to it, on the right side of the screen. The status options are "Online", "Away", "Do not disturb", "Invisible", and "Offline". The difference between "Invisible" and "Offline" is that "Offline" will show contacts that we are not connected and will limit the app's functionality, whereas "Invisible" will show contacts that we are offline, but no functionality is lost. In this example, we will choose "Do not disturb".

Was very easy to follow the "How To Change Status" and wish you could do the same for iPhone 7?

I found the way to get to Invisible mode but that seems to be the only option other than online? What am I missing?
