It became clear that such a Threads App Store page already exists. The App Store page is below, and the app description says 'Instagram's text-based conversation app' 'Threads is a place where the community gathers to discuss everything from today's hot topics to tomorrow's trends. You can follow and connect directly with your favorite creators and other creators who love the same things you do, build your own loyal following and share your ideas, opinions and creativity with the world. You can also do it.” The developer is Instagram instead of Meta.

Even if you open the App Store page from a PC, the scheduled release date will not be displayed, but if you access it from an iPhone, the scheduled release date will be displayed as 'July 6'.



According to the screenshots lined up on the application page, it seems that Instagram's username can be used as it is.



You can also discover your Instagram followers directly in Threads.



Furthermore, it is possible to connect conversations in a thread format like Twitter.



And it seems that you can also specify the public range of the post.



According to foreign media The Verge, Threads will implement ActivityPub, a distributed social media protocol. However, The Verge points out that just because the app can be installed on July 6th doesn't mean that Threads will be available from that day.

In addition, it seems that Threads was temporarily released on Google Play on the first weekend of July 2023, but it was immediately made private.
