Meta thread: Meta is set to launch a new app, which could rival micro-blogging site Twitter and be a direct challenge to the Elon Musk-owned social media platform. A listing of the app, called Threads, on Apple’s App Store indicates it could launch as soon as Thursday. It is a word based conversation app, which is associated with Instagram. It is said that the community will be able to discuss various topics in ‘threads’. According to the screenshot shown in the App Store listing, Instagram users will be able to keep their username and switch to the new app with the same account.
Jack Dorsey tweeted
MetaApp declined to comment. But, Musk replied ‘yes’ to a tweet from Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey saying, “All your threads are ours.” Threads could be a new problem for Musk, who bought Twitter last year for $44 billion and recently changed its rules to keep out advertisers.
