We live in a digital world where technology and digital devices have become integral to our daily lives. The internet and digital technologies have transformed how we communicate, work, shop, and access information. Meta is reportedly building a dedicated Twitter-like social media application for people to post text-based updates.
Facebook’s user-friendly interface and wide range of features have made it popular among people of all ages, from teenagers to seniors. According to Platformer, citing sources, the project is codenamed “P92”, which will let users log in through their existing Instagram credentials.
MoneyControl was the first to break this development.
“We’re exploring a standalone decentralised social network for sharing text updates. We believe there’s an opportunity for a separate space where creators and public figures can share timely updates about their interests,” the company was quoted as saying.
Instagram head Adam Mosseri is leading the project, said the report.
The product is still in its early stages, and no release date has been set, but legal and regulatory teams have already begun to investigate potential privacy concerns surrounding the app to address them before launch, according to the report.
Moreover, several rival platforms have launched or gained traction in the months since Elon Musk took over Twitter — among them include Mastodon, Post.news, and T2.
In December last year, Instagram introduced a new feature called Notes, allowing users to share short posts of up to 60 characters using only text and emojis.
Earlier this month, Twitter Co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey came back into the social media game, launching his Twitter alternative called “Bluesky”, which is available in the Apple App Store in the testing phase.
Facebook is considered a leader in the social media industry. It was launched in 2004 and has since become a dominant force in social media, with a wide range of features and services that allow users to connect with friends and family and share content.
