Social
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; 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 several actions 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 and a customizable 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 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.1 |
1 In fact, you won't be able to send or request any invites to your friends within the game if they are in that status.
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 500 characters long.
Currently, emoji and some special symbols(e.g. fractions) are not supported. Some known special characters that are allowed are:

Uploaded & Favorited Worlds
Below actions can be found a list of worlds uploaded by the user as well as any publicly viewable lists of favorite worlds. These can be sorted by date added, last updated, name, and recently used.
Social Menu
Friend Locations
Friend Locations includes a list of friends who are available on "Online" (green) status, or "Join Me" (blue) statuses, and are present in an accessible world such as Public, Friends+, Friends, Group Public, Group+ instances. Below these available users will also display a list of all Friends currently online in Private Instances.
Group Activity
Group Activity includes a list of available Group instances, for Groups that you have joined. Creating a Group, Group+, or Group Public instance, if you have the ability, will result in it appearing on the Group Activity tab for users in that group.
Online Friends
Online Friends shows the entire list of your friends who are currently online, including Friends on "Ask Me" (orange) or "Do Not Disturb" (red) statuses. It also shows your friends active on the website or friends that are currently offline.
In Instance
In Instance displays each user who is currently present in the instance you are in; users who have you blocked, while still inside of the instance with you may not appear on this tab, unless you are a Host or a Group Instance Moderator. The "Here" tab on the Quick Menu functions the same as this row.
Favorite Friends
Favorite Friends lists are three rows of friends who you have chosen to 'Favorite'. It can be placed in one of the three rows. Each list can be renamed to help with organization.
Blocked
Blocked users are other users who you decided to block. They can be clicked upon in this tab, and unblocked if desired.
Friends
[Reason: Add quirks that have to do with friends and such.]
Friends on VRChat are other users that you trust, it acts much like how friending users on other platforms work, you can see whenever that user is online or on the website, send and receive invites from them, and add notes to them. Friends inside of your instance will have their name appear in yellow, and will also have their rank appear in yellow with a (Friend) indicator.
