ghost mode

Hidden from others

Ghost mode is a setting or behavior pattern where someone becomes invisible or undetectable.

In apps like Snapchat, ghost mode hides your location from other users.

More broadly, it describes deliberately disappearing from social contact—not responding to messages, avoiding people, staying off the grid: I've been in ghost mode since the breakup.

Related to but distinct from ghosting, which targets a specific person.
