Meta will launch its Twitter competitor – Threads later this week on July 6th. The social networking app is already listed in the App Store with the option to pre-order the app now. Android users will also get discussions as soon as they appear from a list of apps on Google Play. There is also a web page for the service which has yet to offer a login page or any other useful information.
App Store Discussions
The official name of Meta’s next competitor on Twitter is “Threads, an Instagram app,” and as evident from the screenshots of the app, users will be able to sign up through their Instagram accounts and automatically migrate their username, followers, and other account information. The new social media app is titled “Instagram’s text-based conversation app” and features an Instagram-like app interface.
Thread app UI
The posts will come with like, comment, repost and share options and offer threads for better user engagement. Users will also be able to add images to their posts. Threads reportedly uses ActivityPub, a decentralized social media protocol also used by Mastodon.
