Meta is poised to launch a new app that appears to mimic Twitter, marking a direct challenge to the social media platform owned by billionaire Elon Musk.
A listing for the app called Threads, appeared on Apple's App Store, indicating it would debut as early as Thursday.
It's billed as a 'text-based conversation app' that's linked to Instagram.

Instagram users will be able to keep their user names and follow the same accounts on the new app.
