Meta’s highly-anticipated Twitter alternative, Threads, has been generating excitement among social media enthusiasts since earlier this year. First teased by app researcher Allesandro Paluzzi, who shared images of the app codenamed ‘Barcelona,’ Threads has been pitched as the “Instagram for your thoughts.” Now, with a brief appearance on the Google Play Store, it seems the app’s launch is imminent, stoking further anticipation.
Although the listing was quickly removed, the download page provided a glimpse into what Threads will offer. Paluzzi, known for his discoveries, flagged the temporary Play Store appearance and shared screenshots on Twitter, offering a sneak peek into the app’s design. The login screen revealed an option to log in with an Instagram account, indicating seamless integration between the two platforms. Additionally, the main timeline feed showcased features familiar to Twitter users, including the ability to like, comment, retweet (re-thread), and share posts.
