Former President Trump’s media platform, Truth Social, premiered its iOS version on Monday, which coincided with President’s Day.
It currently is the top downloaded free app in the Apple store. And thousands of new users continue the sign-up process.
The full feature rollout is set for March.
The sheer volume of downloads created some glitches. Some of the sign-ups were placed in lengthy queues. And there were some delays in trying to create accounts. Other users reported seeing error messages after their profiles were set up.
Trump’s profile was ready to go. And high-profile conservative personalities were sharing on Twitter that they set up their Truth Social accounts.
Truth Social joins the ranks of some newer social media companies. The new platforms include Gettr, Parler, and video site Rumble. They are all alternatives to their mainstream counterparts.
The platform was created by the Trump Media Group (TMTG) with financing from the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC).
Truth Social says no censorship
Devin Nunes left Congress to become CEO of TMTG in January. On Sunday, Nunes, a California Republican, said he hopes Truth Social will be embraced by whoever has been “booted from social media” over the last few years.
