Level 10 charisma and level 6 writing. My Sim was recruited {GF job offer} into level 3 Social Media career. There is no option on the phone to check in. Zero mods/Zero CC and tested by deleting entire folder except for a copy of my current save and options. Repair did not correct the issue. Since he started at level 3 I waited until he reported to work {not work from home} at least once. I do not play this career very often but did successfully reach level 10 with another Sim prior to the release of Get famous.

Eureka!
Sim A - Darius born in game was recruited into the Social Media career starting at level 3 via a job offer.
Level 4 - Internet Personality Branch "Status update from venue" seems to replace the check-in option.
Work tasks are focused on jokes and mischief.
--
Sim B - Steven created in CAS and started at level 1 in the Social Media career.
The check-in option finally showed on his phone but the work task did not.
--
Added another Sim to second (Steve) save in another household.
Sim C - Nancy created in CAS and has been on the gallery {not played and has zero skills} for a while.
Started at level 1 in the Social Media career.
When she reached the second level of the career the check-in option became available.
The work task was able to be completed at level 2 of the career.
