Social
Template:Noticebox/official VRChat comes with a whole host of social tools for users. Such as friends, invites, notes, and more!
User Profiles
Introduced in the 
Identity Update, user profiles are a personalized space where information is displayed about a user. Information on a user's profile includes: status; trust rank; bio; their current instance (if applicable); languages they speak; social links; badges they own; and the groups they're in.
Under a user's profile there are a number of actions that you can take - such as sending a friend request or an invite to an instance.
Statuses
Statuses can be set in the Quick Menu, Main Menu, or on the VRChat Website and are used for the following: to control how easily a user's friends can join their instance; to vary whether a user's friends can see the instance they are currently in; to silence notifications; and to communicate an activity.
Statuses consist of a color as well as a customisable short sentence (up to 32 characters). There are four different statuses in VRChat:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Join Me (Blue) | Your friends can see the instance you are in and may join freely with identical rules to Online status. However, if the instance is private and unviewable, all invite requests from friends are automatically accepted as long as you have permission to accept them. |
| Online (Green) | Your friends can see the instance you are in and can join your instance without an invitation. However, your friends may not see or join the instance without an invite if the instance is deemed "private".
Your instance is viewable and joinable by friends without requesting an invite in the following cases:
|
| Ask Me (Orange) | Your friends cannot see the instance you are in. They must request an invite from you in order to be able to join, regardless of the instance's privacy. |
| Do Not Disturb (Red) | Your friends cannot see the instance you are in. They may request to join, but you will not receive any notifications. |
Bio
The bio (abbreviation for biography) is a paragraph of text written by the user that is generally used to describe or introduce themselves, but can be used for any purpose. The bio can be up to 512 characters long.

Friends
[Reason: Add quirks that have to do with friends and such]
Friends on VRChat are other users you trust, it acts much like how friending does on other platforms, you can see whenever that user is online, send and recieve invites from them, and add notes to them.
