Here’s how Instagram’s Twitter competitor ‘Project 92’ will look like

As of now the app is codenamed “Project 92,” but it could be called Threads which coincidentally is the name of an Instagram had launched but shut it down. 

Instagram’s Twitter competitor

Instagram previewed the upcoming app at a companywide meeting where it talked a little bit about the app and also showed a glimpse of how it would look like, according to a report by The Verge. Instagram wasn’t shy about admitting that this app will compete with Twitter and even calling it “our response to Twitter”.

• From the above screenshot we can see that the new Instagram app has a Twitter-like UI and where text posts from various people are presented in a centralised feed. 
• There are buttons below each post to heart (like), comment, reshare or share the post.
• Below is the menu tab which has a button for the home page, search, new post, likes and profile. 
• It’s a simple easy-to-understand UI which looks and works very similar to Twitter.
• The new app will sync with your Instagram account so you can have all your data imported here.
• This means your followers, people you follow, your handle, bio and even verification will be visible on the app. You will also be able to keep the same settings as your Instagram account.

Instagram is also adding support for other apps that are integrated with Activity Hub like Mastodon. This is another Twitter-like app that launched back in 2016. This is possible through Activity Hub which lets social networking apps work together on a single platform. 

There’s no word on the official launch date yet but Instagram plans to launch it as soon as possible. It has also roped in celebrities including Oprah, the Dalai Lama and DJ Slime to use the app when it’s available.
