Twitter Working on Status Feature called Vibes
Twitter is reportedly working on a new feature that will allow you to publish status updates on the platform, following its failed attempt to replicate Snapchat and Instagram Stories with Fleets. Twitter is still developing this function, dubbed “Vibes,” and is not yet available to everyone.
Twitter Vibes to Update Status
According to Alessandro Paluzzi, a prolific app reverse engineer, it would offer a method for users to update their status on the web and mobile apps quickly. Paluzzi claims that you’ll be able to add status from the tweet composer box, implying that it may be part of a new tweet. If that’s the case, it’d be similar to the “Feeling/Activity” option on Facebook right now.
A different tweet, on the other hand, implies that Vibes may exist independently of a new tweet. Users would be able to update their statuses directly from their profile page if this option was available. That reminds me of the Instagram Threads app’s status feature, which has since been deprecated.

Surprisingly, it appears that you may also be able to join or learn about the status of others. This should let you connect with other users who are doing the same thing, at least in principle. Take a look at the user interface for that choice below:

At the time, that’s all we know about the Twitter Vibes status feature. Because the functionality isn’t even live by default on Twitter’s beta release channels, it’s safe to believe it’ll be released in the next several months.

Netflix Co-CEO Rules Out App for Apple Vision Pro for Now
Recently, pre-orders for the Apple Vision Pro were started. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst has reported sales of around 160,000 to 180,000 units of the Vision Pro. In context to the sales of Apple Vision Pro, Netflix Co-CEO Greg Peters revealed in an interview that there is no need for the Netflix app in Apple’s VR headset.
In that interview, Peters also defined that the number of subscribers can’t justify the attempts to port an app for a platform. In the future, there may be a Netflix app for Apple’s VR headset, but currently, Netflix is adopting a wait-and-see approach. For now, YouTube and Spotify have no plans for dedicated apps.
As we also mentioned in the recent post of the Apple Vision Pro, you can use the apps via the browser in the Vision Pro. Apple’s own Apple TV+ streaming services are available on the Apple Vision Pro, which features “Apple Immersive Video” with Spatial Audio and 180° 3D footage in 8K resolution.
Similarly, Netflix has also a VR app which was launched in back 2015, that also offers VR Content and includes a 360° video for the Stranger Things Series, but for now, it’s not available in Apple Vision Pro. Netflix has a ton of VR movies that you can also check out.

The latest WhatsApp beta test for iOS, marked as version 24.1.10.76, is also geared up to incorporate this polling feature.
WhatsApp ensures that the choices made by channel followers during voting remain secure and anonymous. Currently available to beta testers, the feature to share polls in channels can be accessed by installing the latest version of WhatsApp beta for iOS and other Android phones via the TestFlight app. It will be available to everyone in the coming days.
While polls on various platforms often disappear within 24 hours, it remains to be seen whether WhatsApp will adopt a similar approach or introduce its own unique twist.
