Instagram, owned by Meta Platforms, is reportedly developing a text-based app that will compete with Twitter. The app is currently being tested by famous people and social media influencers, and its features may include compatibility with other apps and connection with Instagram's platform. The earliest possible rollout is around the end of June. Meta Platforms declined to comment on the report.
Instagram's rumored text-based Twitter competitor, codenamed P92 or Barcelona, will allow users to make text posts up to 500 characters long with attached links, photos, and videos. The app will have good moderation controls and an element of decentralization, making it compatible with certain other apps like Mastodon. Instagram's followers, handle, bio, and verification will transfer over from the main app. The app could make Instagram an even more popular destination for people looking for their next place to share tweet-like updates.
