Instant Status vs Friends Status

Instant Status is the simplest way to share what you're up to with the people who matter. No feeds. No chats. No noise. One tap tells your friends if you're free, focused, or asleep, and the same for them. REAL-TIME STATUSES Set your status in one tap: busy, available, sleeping, in a meeting, or anything in between. Friends see the update instantly. Statuses can auto-expire so you never forget to clear them. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS See your friends without opening the app. Beautiful widgets show the people you care about right on your home screen, refreshing in the background. INVITE-ONLY FRIENDS Friends-only by design. No public discovery, no strangers, no random adds. You connect by sharing an invite link, and you can disconnect anytime. PRIVACY-FIRST No direct messaging. No photo or video uploads. No public profiles. Instant Status shares only your current status, with the friends you choose. FREE TO USE Instant Status is free to download and use. Set your status, connect with friends, see what they're up to, and use the home screen widget. No subscription required. INSTANT STATUS PRO Pro unlocks unlimited custom statuses with your own labels and colors, premium aesthetic widget themes, and a higher friend capacity. Try Pro free for 7 days on the yearly plan. PROFILE & CONTROL Manage your friends, mute notifications, customize your widget, and disconnect from anyone in seconds. You stay in control of your visibility.

Friends Status is the anti-social network: a small circle of friends, one status of the moment, and nothing else. No feed, no followers, no public profile. Just what your people are up to, right now. ONE STATUS, FOUR WAYS TO SAY IT • A giant emoji or a few words. • A photo taken on the spot (camera only, no library). • A drawing made with your finger. • A voice note, one minute max. Posting replaces the previous one, and every status clears itself after 4 days. Nothing piles up. YOUR FRIENDS ON YOUR HOME SCREEN The Friends Status widget shows the latest status your friends posted, without opening the app. Pick a star friend: the widget then shows them all the time, with a small star. A CIRCLE, NOT A NETWORK Share your invite link, or add someone by their exact username: every request has to be accepted. There is no directory, no suggestions, no people discovery: you only add people you already know. Your status is visible to your accepted friends only — never public. PEACE OF MIND • Notifications are off by default, on when you want them, with a mute per friend. • Block anyone silently: they will never know. • Report content in two taps; every report is reviewed within 24 hours. YOUR DATA No selling, no third-party analytics. Statuses are erased after 4 days, photos and voice notes live in private storage, and you can delete your account — and everything with it — right from the app. FREE, WITH PREMIUM AS AN OPTION Text and drawings are unlimited and free. Without Premium, a short video gets you 3 photos or voice notes to keep in reserve (up to 5). Premium is a one-time purchase — no subscription, no renewal — that unlocks unlimited photos and voice notes and removes all ads. Friends Status is available in English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian and Japanese, and is for people aged 15 and over.
