Instagram is working on a Snapchat-like app
Facebook is testing another Snapchat clone.
The app “is designed to facilitate continuous, automatic sharing between users,” The Verge said, and the company has released a model of the app based on screenshots of unpublished apps. The image shows a single feed where you can see a friend’s story or a brief “status”.
Facebook and Instagram have been trying to copy Snapchat at least six times over the years. However, these attempts were unsuccessful until Instagram launched Stories in its own application.
Of course, Facebook’s previous attempts to create a separate Snapchat clone were unsuccessful, and Threads could be as easy as other Snapchats that the company has been dying over the years. However, by integrating Instagram stories with the user’s “close friends,” the company at least indicates that it is willing to put all the features of Instagram into practice.
