Explained: What is Twitter 'Vibe Check' feature that lets you update status - What you need to know

Twitter Vibe Check: Popular micro-blogging platform Twitter is reportedly working on a ‘vibe check’ feature that allows users to set a status. Currently it is not clear weather this feature will be for all users or only for Twitter Blue subscribers. 

According to a report from BGR India, Researcher and reverse engineer, Jane Manchun Wong, on Twitter shared screenshots of the feature showing a “Set a status” box just above where one would type a tweet. First examples included “Eating yummy ramen” and “Lurking Twitter”. 

"It looks like an extra way to add personality to to post. Wong also shared a screenshot with The Verge showing a placeholder status of “Listening to A. G. Cook” below her name.  The feature is being compared with Facebook’s “feelings” feature, the report said. 

As per BGR India, apart from Wong, Alessandro Paluzzi, who also keeps on sharing unreleased features, has also spotted this Twitter feature. In a tweet, he said, “Twitter is working on Vibes… It should also be possible to add an emoji, perhaps it is something similar to the feeling/activity option of Facebook posts.”

Earlier this month, this micro-blogging platform announced that it has started experiment testing a new feature that enables users to unmention themselves from conversations or discussions that they don’t want to be part of. 

A short clip shared by the micro-blogging platform via its Twitter Safety handle shows that the new unmention button not only enables users to untag themselves from a particular tweet but it also enables them to untag themselves from the original tweet and all replies pertaining to that conversation.
