The “leaked slide” of the new Instagram app hints that it is going to compete against Twitter
Instagram will allegedly soon be launching a text-based application which at the moment is being perceived as a rival to microblogging platform – Twitter.
The debut of the same is scheduled for June end. Codenamed P92 or Barcelona, the new app’s name isn’t revealed yet and is commonly called “Instagram’s new text-based app for conversations”.
The app is reported to have been in the making for several months now and discussions have been ongoing with select creators, however, even the selected creators didn’t have access to the full application.
Here’s a sneak peek into what the new app will look like:
Earlier this year, in March, Meta had told Platformer, Casey Newton’s independent newsletter on Silicon Valley and democracy, that it was exploring a “standalone decentralised social network for sharing text updates”.
“We believe there’s an opportunity for a separate space where creators and public figures can share timely updates about their interests,” Meta had said.
