The App Store listing reveals that Meta's new Threads app will work like Twitter.
Meta's app Instagram Threads has been embroiled in controversy even before its launch. The controversy is about issues related to privacy. Instagram Threads is to be launched on July 6. It is believed that this app can compete with Elon Musk's Twitter. Ahead of the launch, the software appeared briefly on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
According to the official listing on the Apple App Store, Meta's threads can collect information about contacts, browsing history, usage, location, search history, identifiers, financial data, health, fitness, and other sensitive data. Binod Kshetri, a lawyer and a person interested in technology, said, 'Privacy of a person has no meaning anymore.' Tech entrepreneur Alan Alfred also shared his thoughts on the Threads controversy on Twitter.
The listing of the App Store has revealed that the new Thread app will work like Twitter. It will come with text-based posts, which can be liked, commented, and shared. It has also been learned that people who follow accounts on Instagram will be able to follow them and keep the same username.
Instagram has been promoting its upcoming app for several months with several celebrities and influencers. The company aims to create a buzz in the market before the launch of the app. According to the App Store listing, the app is available for 'pre-order' and could be launched on July 6.
