The “Search for people and contacts” field above the contacts list helps you find those you are already connected with in chatway as well as those you have not yet connected with in chatway.

If you want to hide yourself from displaying in search - kind of like going unlisted in the phonebook (is that still a relevant reference?), then you can easily configure your privacy settings in chatway for web.

Sign in to your chatway account at web.chatway.com

Click the menu button next to the search field

Choose Settings

Uncheck the checkbox next to the text Allow people to find me in search

That’s it. You’re no longer listed so those not yet connected with you will not be able to find you in search. 

Don’t worry, even if you set yourself as unlisted you can still search for listed contacts and you can still enjoy seamless connectivity with your linked networks (phonebook, LinkedIn, Google and Facebook).
