Will in-game states in Spectrum let players communicate seamlessly between the different in-game and out-of-game mediums?

They're working on expanding the current states, but that will come in time as the game grows so you'll eventually be able to see where a person is or what they're doing.
Friends list as well is something they're working on expanding, but they're building it in a way that allows them to use it in a variety of ways such as friending someone without needing their permission, but then maybe you can't see certain details such as where they are or what they're doing until they add you as well. Or having multiple characters and having isolated friends lists where one character may have a different list of friends to another.
