@chrismessina thanks for hunting us! Me @albgrs1 and @alexandre_meregan spent the last few years building social apps for you and you close friends. Vibes Widget let's you see your friends' status on an Live Activity, a new kind of live updating notification for iOS 16. Last Friday we got over 350.000 downloads and topped app stores in 20 countries and we are excited for your feedback to take Vibes to the next level.

Congrats on the success guys! Great to see you pioneering what can be done with these new widgets abilities! Very cool if this gets people spontaneously interacting with pals more (outside of WhatsApp) Perhaps that's the plan? Best of luck!

@leojbarnett YES! The idea is basically putting your close friends on the top of your phone's attention stack (the lock screen). So before you get sucked into swiping endless short-form video feeds, you see what your real friends are doing and have a way to interact with them in a lightweight way. We're adding a widget too though so you can also choose to use it slightly more passively and catch up later. My co-founders are young but for me this is what MSN Messenger did really well until Facebook took over, and I really missed how it made you connect more on a daily basis.

@miles_scherrer Love the way you've framed that. Totally understand the concept. This definitely demonstrates the power of the new lock screen abilities to avoid being sucked away from what matters and stay focused on what does.

Absolutely love this! BeReal is not real-time and too focused on images. Instagram close friends is too clunky and stuff gets lost. The idea to interact with your close friends on the lock screen is pure genius!
