Facebook working on a new ‘Threads’ messaging app: All you need to know
Facebook is reportedly working on a new messaging app, dubbed “Threads.” As per a report, the upcoming app from the company will promote constant, ******** sharing between users and their closest friends. It will be a companion to the photo-sharing app, Instagram,*The Verge reports.
“Threads invites users to automatically share their location, speed, and battery life with friends, along with more typical text, photo, and video messages using Instagram’s creative tools,” the report stated. Besides, earlier this year, Instagram*stopped*its “Direct” standalone camera-first messaging app. “For Facebook and Instagram, which have long coveted Snapchat’s strong engagement among younger users, ‘Threads’ could represent another effort to chip away at their rival’s appeal,” said the report.
