Threads bears a striking resemblance to Twitter in terms of functionality. Users can post messages, engage in replies, and express their approval through likes or reposts.
The platform also allows Meta-owned Instagram users to seamlessly follow the same accounts on Threads, facilitating an influx of followers.
On Thursday, Twitter lawyer Alex Spiro notified Mark Zuckerberg that they are ready to sue them on claims including intellectual property rights. And the letter demands, “that Meta take immediate steps to stop using any Twitter trade secrets or other highly confidential information” that it has derived from the hiring of former Twitter employees.
Threads still lacks several essential features, which the Instagram team are working on around the clock.
Android users now have the opportunity to join the Threads beta program on the Google Play Store, granting them exclusive access to upcoming versions of the app before its official release.
Cautionary advice has been issued by a Meta engineer involved in Threads’ development. Living on the cutting-edge entails enjoying new features and bug fixes, but it may come at the expense of instability issues and occasional bugs.
