Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for batching requests for presence information. A client device determines a set of user indicators that are displayed on a display of the client device during a period of time. Each user indicator corresponds to a user of an online service, and is presented on the display as a result of a user of the client device viewing content provided by the online service. At completion of the period of time, the client device determines a set of remaining user indicators displayed on the display of the client device, and transmits, to a server associated with the online service, a batched request for presence information for a set of users corresponding to the set of remaining user indicators. The client device presents presence indicators indicating the status of the users based on the requested presence information.
