Meta's upcoming Twitter alternative is on the way 👀
has put together a handy list of all the things we know about the app so far, and it sounds incredibly Twitter-esque. The new app will use your Instagram credentials to log in and use your current Instagram ID as your username in the app.
The maximum length of Barcelona posts will be about 500 characters, and with the continuous turmoil going on with Twitter as it stands right now, Meta is likely prioritizing the project.As I said, I use Instagram to communicate with most if not all of my friends, and having a dedicated space to post ‘text updates’ born right out of the app we’ve all navigated and known for users is a brilliant idea. There is no new format to learn, no extensive setup, nor an unfamiliar user interface.
The current name of the app is a little odd, and I’m not sure what people would call the Barcelona equivalent of Tweets but I think young people especially would flock to the new app. Twitter has become a turbulent place to be, crammed with promoted tweets and that garbage ‘For You’ section, and a lot of young people will definitely appreciate only being connected to the people they already know and follow.
I embrace any and all alternatives to the bird app, as it feels almost like I’m trapped. A lot of my work stuff is on there, along with companies and celebrities I follow, so I feel like I can’t really leave. But with the possibility of Barcelona, I feel like I can escape that hell site and actually enjoy scrolling through my feed.Sign up to receive daily breaking news, reviews, opinion, analysis, deals and more from the world of tech.
