Meta has to its credit a robust and well-known portfolio of social networks. In addition to the veteran, Facebook has the popular Instagram, but one more could soon be added to take advantage of the Twitter low hourswhich after the acquisition of Elon Musk continues to disappoint its users (and now the music industry).
With the code name of a Spanish city, trying to create a network similar to Twitter in form and behavior. Barcelona was his title at the developer level, and Threads its official name. This is the new Meta app that will replace Twitter (if they manage to convince users).
The ‘Barcelona’ project is called Threads and will be a substitute for Twitter
Besides the controversy that raised the new Twitter Blue and its verification system, it didn’t take long for other issues to be added, such as the blocking of third-party clients, or the impossibility of activating two-step verification by SMS (without being Blue).
Step by step, the decisions of the viral businessman have damaged the image of Twitter, whose users are furious with each change. All this casuistry has pushed Meta to create an application to rival Twitter, whose first leaks pointed to a well-known name in our lands: Barcelona.
In fact, the TechCrunch medium even dared to give a approximate release date: this same summer. In it we find ourselves and indeed the application is already available for Android.
It has been Alessandro Paluzzi, a well-known leaker of functions on social networks, who has revealed the arrival of the app. Just below we leave the official publication with link to Google Play Store. Unfortunately, we can’t get it from the official Android app store, but through its original APK.

Although we proceed to install the new app called Threads, we will not be able to log in in any way, although yes we can anticipate several things: it will be possible log in With our Instagram account, it will work similar to Twitter and will look like that.
The design of the application is inevitably reminiscent of Twitter
In addition, our Instagram profile will hide an option to link our Threads profile, integrating one network with another. For now, we must wait for the official announcement by Meta, which presumably will arrive in the next few weeks.
