Syed Imran Haider Instagram has prepared a Twitter clone and will release it later this summer. The decentralized social platform allows users to validate their credentials to publish short updates, such as links, photos, videos, and text to the app. Users will find their account details, including profile pictures, usernames, and block lists, carrying over to an innovative experience.
The Twitter clone will interoperate with other decentralized social apps, including Mastodon. Meta has reached out to high-profile influencers and celebrities to make them early adopters on board. For this, they prioritize actors, comedians, showrunners, and athletes. Recently some screenshots of the new app revealed an interface looking and feels like Twitter in terms of posts, comments, and likes.
 Instagram’s New Twitter Clone
Although nobody knows Twitter’s future, Meta has built the next significant microblogging platform. The new Meta text-based app will arrive on the market later this summer. It will have partial integration within Instagram, allowing users to keep and handle their Instagram verification. Your followers will get a notification to follow you on the Twitter clone.
The decentralized and text-based social platform will interoperate with Mastodon, built on the ActivityPub protocol. Instagram’s parent company wants to bring high-profile figures to receive early access to the app. Meta conceded in a note to these influencers, saying Bluesky, Mastodon, and other similar apps started the race to develop the next Twitter.
The company highlighted that it accesses billions of users via its suite of apps, including Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. The tech giant chose to stay quiet on the reports of codenaming P92 or Barcelona in the new app development. It says the company was working on a standalone and decentralized social app to share text updates.
Meta believes that every creator and public figure can post timely updates related to their interest.
Lia Haberman, the author of ICYMI, says the Twitter clone will employ similar community guidelines as Instagram, and users could log in to the platform using their Instagram credentials. The text-based posts will have up to 500 letters, whereas users could upload links, photos, and visuals up to five minutes long. The decentralized app will have a Twitter-like feed where users can like and reply to the post or repost the content.
 Twitter AlternativesÂ
While users might be tired of migrating to many social network platforms, the tech market is ripe for new alternatives to Elon Musk-owned Twitter. Meta loves to jump into whatever social media phenomenon it finds getting popularity.
Its new releases or experiences do not need to always take off as it has ended products like Neighborhood, Super, tbh, Sparked, and Tuned. In March, Mark Zuckerberg revealed the company had begun working on a Twitter-like decentralized app. The company confirmed the move in a statement but did not reveal any details, including when the app was due. According to a Meta spokesperson, the company was exploring a standalone decentralized social platform to facilitate text updates. It believes in providing everyone a separate space to share their interest via a timely update.
