As reported from The Verge, Twitter could be about to integrate a function that we already knew, but that we had not seen for a long time. It’s about status updates, a feature that will allow us to see all kinds of information about our contacts. These states ranged from their most current reflections, the music they were listening to, and even some videos.
Now, it appears that the feature is under development from the Twitter offices. In the report of the aforementioned source we can confirm that a user of the social network and researcher in reverse engineering, Manchun Wong, was the first person to see this function. Apparently it’s being created under the codename ‘Vibe’.
Wong already has a good track record in anticipating future updates to social platforms. According to the screenshots that she uploaded to her bill from Twitter; the option could be activated using a button that reads ‘Set a status‘ (“Establish a state”).
In the image we can see a list with predetermined phrases and situations. Among them ‘Eating delicious ramen’, ‘shopping for groceries’, ‘Wandering through Twitter’ and several more. It is not known at this time if this feature will allow you to set custom statuses, however, it seems that we will be able to limit who can see it.
In addition to reminding us of BlackBerry Messenger, this feature also brings an air to the Feelings/Activities we find on Facebook. This function allows us to do something similar: establish how we feel about something; and what we find ourselves doing at a given moment.
Twitter is working on “Set a status” in Tweet Composer, codenamed “Vibe”
You can think of it as something similar to Instagram Threads app’s Status pic.twitter.com/TGXH4uVe8Z

The new Twitter ‘Vibes’
Wong comments that statuses will be visible between the username and the bio. An indicator will show what we are doing, listening, or if we are in a conference. The Verge uploaded a screenshot where it is shown what this feature would look like.
Of course, It is a function that is in testing period. This means that, at the moment, there are the same possibilities that it will see the light, as well as that it is not the case. In addition, if it were to be launched, there are still many things that Twitter has to clarify about its operation.
Recently the company also talked about the arrival of the edit button on its platform, news that you must have already seen. Besides, Elon Musk has shown his intentions to buy Twitterso lately things have been moving within the company.
