Meta prepares to launch Twitter alternative called 'Threads'

Meta is reportedly launching “Threads”, a Twitter competition in which users will be able to load using their Instagram accounts. The app briefly showed up on Google Store and was briefly deleted after.

According to The Verge media, Alessandro Paluzzi, a developer who routinely explores app code to expose unreleased features, tweeted early on Saturday that Meta’s Twitter clone, Thread, had been released into the Google Play store. The app has yet to be available.

The developer included screenshots that showed off some of the app’s elements, including the login screen, which lets users sign in with their Instagram accounts, and another screen with a list of their followed accounts on Instagram, to see if they wish to follow them on this app as well.

Threads has reportedly been in development at Meta since January under the name “Project 92.” 

The Verge confirmed the name and got a first real look at the app based on an internal companywide meeting where Meta chief product officer Chris Cox said, “We’ve been hearing from creators and public figures who are interested in having a platform that is sanely run.”

Amid the ongoing updates that Elon Musk has been implementing in Twitter, people seem to be inclined to join Threads, as many expressed so following Twitter’s recent Ratio Limit which allows people to only access a limited amount of Tweets and replies.
