Overview
- Users will be able to post a status to all contacts or limit visibility to a private close friends list.
- List management is discreet, as contacts are not notified when they are added or removed and changes apply only to future posts.
- Statuses sent to close friends will show a distinctive icon and color to signal restricted visibility.
- Posts keep the 24‑hour duration and remain protected with end‑to‑end encryption.
- The feature is currently in iOS beta testing and is expected to roll out to more devices in the coming weeks, with setup available under Settings > Privacy > Status after updating.
