Status app is currently in beta stage
The Status app is currently in its beta stage. This means the application is still undergoing active development, and certain features described in this document may function differently or be unavailable within the app.

Status users who search for your profile or you interact with can send you contact requests. For example, users you have shared your profile with or those in mutual communities or group chats with you.

tip
If you want to send a contact request, check out Add a contact in Status.

  • Contact requests expire after seven days.
  • Status users can send you a new request every seven days. If it bothers you, consider blocking the user.
  • People you have blocked can't see your profile or send you a contact request.
  • Rejecting a request does not notify the sender.
  • You can turn off contact requests.
