Status

Status is a mobile social simulation app that markets itself as "Sims but social media." Players create a persona, choose a first follower and step into a social network built around them, with AI generated characters and worlds that respond to what the player does. Users can build their own stories or place themselves inside the settings of existing shows and books, which the vendor frames as fandom storytelling. The app is aimed at a young, social media native audience and is available through the Apple App Store and Google Play, with a community on Discord. The vendor states that users have created millions of AI powered worlds and characters on the platform, and that it built its own AI architecture to run these worlds at scale. The vendor publishes community guidelines that set the content boundaries. Emotional or romantic intimacy at a high narrative level, stylized violence and dark emotional themes are permitted when handled responsibly. Sexual acts, nudity, written descriptions of sexual acts, detailed gore, sexual violence and the glorification of self harm are prohibited, and canonically minor characters must stay non sexual. The vendor does not publish pricing on its website. Pricing for any paid features is not shown outside the app stores.
