Meta has showcased a;standalone Instagram app, which is set to rival Twitter.
The;text-based app for conversations;was unveiled to employees during an all-hands meeting by Chief Product Officer Chris Cox, who positioned it as Meta's response to Twitter.
The app, which;combines elements;of Instagram and Twitter, allows users to sign in using their Instagram credentials.
- It auto-transfers a user's followers, handle, bio, and verification to the new app.
- A decentralized app, it reportedly has a central feed where users can share text posts of up to 500 characters, along with links, photos, and videos.
- The platform, internally codenamed P92, is;currently being tested;among influencers and creators.
- Meta, Instagram's owner, is in discussions with high-profile figures, such as Oprah Winfrey and the Dalai Lama, to use the app, according to Cox.
