Coming this week.
Meta is set to release a rival to Twitter on Thursday, a social media app called Threads it describes as "Instagram's text-based conversation app."
The new service, which is available for pre-order in Apple's App Store and will be released on July 6, has a similar appearance to Twitter, with screenshots of the service showing messages with replies from other users. One screenshot of the app indicates that Instagram users will be able to immediately click to follow the same accounts on Threads, which could help users quickly build large follower bases.
Meta also introduced cheat codes on Instagram to allow people to sign up for a download ahead of time, teasing the release to its billions of users.
