Meta, the parent company of Instagram, will likely release a potential Twitter alternative called Instagram Threads on July 6. The release date was spotted on the app’s App Store page, and Instagram Threads have been teasing some users with an in-app teaser.
Details on the Release
The Threads app can be found on both the App Store and Play Store, and The Verge reported a release date of July 6. However, this release indication has seemingly been removed. Nonetheless, a Threads website is live, although it does not mention a release date.
Furthermore, Meta has dropped additional hints. Some Instagram users who type “threads” in the search bar are shown an option to generate a digital ticket, which displays the exact date and the local equivalent of 4:00 PM. Similar effects reportedly occur with other search queries such as “saymore,” “p92,” and “ticket.”
Official Confirmation and Availability
Meta has not officially confirmed the release date for Instagram Threads. It remains unclear whether the platform will be available in all countries immediately. The timing, however, seems opportune as Twitter is currently facing controversy. The social media platform has introduced a daily tweet viewing limit and restricts access for non-logged-in users.
While an official confirmation is yet to be provided, rumors suggest that Instagram Threads, a potential alternative to Twitter, may be released on July 6. Meta has been teasing users with in-app teasers and search hints. The release of Threads could offer users an alternative social media experience, mainly as Twitter’s recent changes have sparked controversy. Stay tuned for further updates on the release and availability of Instagram Threads.
