Meta Threads Beta Now Available Exclusively for Android Users
Threads, the Twitter competitor developed by Meta, has garnered a staggering 70 million followers and is currently introducing a beta program for Android. This initiative aims to provide users with early access to upcoming features and bug fixes.
The Android beta program invitation says that “certain information about your use of the app is collected and shared with the developer to improve the app.”
“For Android users who love to live on the cutting edge, sign up for our beta below. New features and bug fixes will get here first, but you’ll also have to accept the increased risk of a more unstable build than before,” says a company engineer.
You can sign up for the beta now because there is no waiting list, reports TechCrunch.
Meanwhile, Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg confirmed that Threads now has 70 million sign-ups, which is “way beyond our expectations.”
Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri said there are a lot of good deals out there for public conversations.
“But just given everything that was going on, we thought we had an opportunity to build something that was open and something that was good for the community that’s already using Instagram,” he told The Verge.
Threads currently lacks features like direct messages, a “Following” feed, a full web version, a chronological feed, and more.
Threads is available for iOS and Android in 100 countries, but not in the EU due to privacy regulations.
