To compete with Twitter and meet the demand of users who wish to invest in a new social network, Meta is going to offer a new application that is wickedly reminiscent of the blue bird network.
Twitter has not really had the wind in its sails since its takeover by billionaire Elon Musk. After having first lost some of its advertisers, the social network then attracted the wrath of users after many rather controversial new features, such as the establishment of a subscription. Subscription now required to obtain a badge, to modify a tweet or to post tweets without character limit.
Faced with these sudden changes, users are looking for new alternatives. Donald Trump has also offered his own application, Truth Social, and Meta, the parent company of Facebook, is preparing to offer a social network derived from Instagram, known internally under the names of “P92”, “Project 92” or even “Barcelona”, as explained Lia Haberman giving ICYMI.
Frequent users of Instagram should not be too out of place, since photos and videos will be replaced by messages that may contain photos, videos of up to 5 minutes or even links. As on Twitter, it will be possible to respond to them and create a discussion thread, or even “threads”, all in posts of 500 characters maximum. Users will also be able to like, reply to a post or even repost it.
Completely dependent on Instagram
Derived from Instagram, the new application will work in concert with this first. Username and password will be the same and it will also be possible to synchronize followers from one app to another.
Like on Instagram, content creators will have more control over their followers and how they interact with their account. For example, an account blocked on Instagram will also be blocked in the new application, as will the hidden words.
Finally, it seems that there are no, still according to Lia Haberman, advertisements planned in the app at first. Knowing Meta’s policy on the matter, it would not be crazy to believe that the company will include advertisements there in the more or less near future.
The icing on the cake, a release date is even mentioned for the release of the app. The journalist mentions the end of June as a possible exit window.
