The Threads app icon

AlthoughFacebookknows that, withInstagram , he is the king of social networks, he also knows that there is an app that resists him That app is Snapchat and they want, by all means, to convince the users of said social network to stop using it.

First they tried it with the States and Stories of Instagram. And it seems that they succeeded since it is one of the most used functions. They also tried separating the messages in a different app, Direct, but this didn't work.

Threads would be a mix between Stories, Instagram feed and direct messages

In fact, the app was withdrawn shortly after its launch in the testing phase in certain countries. But now they're going to try again with a brand new messaging app called Threads.

As reported, and although this app is being tested internally by Facebook workers, it is known for certain that it is completely focused on messaging. So we could also send messages through this app as in Direct.

Some of the leaked features of Threads

In it, in what would be the feed that we know from the Instagram application, the Stories that we have uploaded to Instagram It is assumed that, since Threads could also be uploaded, and our friends could comment as if they were a Instagram post

But the app would have different social elements, different from those of Instagram. Thus, you would have direct and continuous access to the device's battery, speed and location, and this data would be constantly shared with the people who are part of our circle of friends in the app.

As you can see, it is quite different from Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp And it It is true that, among the youngest, it is an idea that can come to fruition. In any case, it is not yet known if the app will be released to the general public but we will keep you informed.
