Meta's Threads: Instagram's Twitter Rival Set to Launch on July 6th

Meta's upcoming Twitter competitor, Threads, is expected to launch on July 6th, according to a listing in the iOS App Store. The app, described as "Instagram's text-based conversation app," will allow users to keep their Instagram handle and follow the same accounts they follow on the photo-sharing platform. Users will have the option to choose the privacy settings of their posts and interact with other users' content. It remains unclear if Threads will be a decentralized service compatible with Mastodon, as previously reported.
