Folks fed up with the ongoing antics at Twitter may be interested in trying out Meta's Threads app when it launches later this week.
As Twitter becomes evermore challenging to use following changes at the weekend limiting how many tweets a user can read in a day, as well as news on Monday that only Twitter Blue subscribers will be able to use TweetDeck, attention is now shifting to Threads, a Twitter-like app that’s expected to launch for iOS on Thursday.
Threads is built by Meta, the owner of Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. The new app, while a standalone product, is closely linked to Instagram as it has an option to import all of your followers so that you have an active community with you from the start. Of course, a user’s communities on Twitter and Instagram are often very different, so it’s not clear how popular the option to import followers will be.
Recommended Videos Meta will be hoping that Thursday’s launch capitalizes on the current woes at Twitter caused by Elon Musk’s decision to impose “temporary” reading limits for users, limits that he said are needed to stop tech companies from scraping Twitter data and using it to train their AI tools.
