We already have our first filtered “Twitter” image on Instagram and it looks great.

Since Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, rumors have sprung up supporting Mark Zuckerberg’s interest in launching an alternative with the Meta label. Rumors that suggested that it would be Instagram, the network decided to present as an alternative to Twitter. Now, without the Meta officially confirming it, we have first look at project 92, Twitter from instagram.

At this point, it’s nothing more than a leak and everything seems to indicate that it’s nothing more than an internal prototype, but it doesn’t allow us to get an idea of ​​what Instagram’s offering for your Twitter will someday be like. it sees the light. Of course, it doesn’t look like it will be integrated into the main app, but rather will operate as a standalone service using some of Instagram’s technologies.and the same user access data.

Of course, this is not a typical leak with no clear origin. The Instagram Twitter screenshots are real, and in fact come directly from Meta’s senior management, showed employees a preview of the service at a company-wide meeting, which was also seen Edge.

Instagram’s “Twitter” will be a separate application and will be compatible with other services.

Also, everything seems to indicate that Meta already has everything in place for the public launch of the project. In fact, according to the aforementioned media outlets, the same executive confirmed to his employees that Meta talk to celebrities like Oprah and the Dalai Lama to be part of the platform as early adopters. “We listened to creators and public figures who are interested in the intelligent management of the platform.”

Everything seems to indicate that it will be a completely independent application, will be based on parts of Instagram technologies and will be integrated with ActivityPub, a decentralized social media protocol. In theory, this would allow users of the new app to transfer their accounts and subscribers to other ActivityPub-compatible apps, including Mastodon, and vice versa.

In terms of user data, it is confirmed that you will be using the Instagram account system. And although the app’s internal code name is “Project 92”, although the public name may be streams, not yet confirmed. A launch date has yet to be announced, but Meta wants to launch the app as soon as possible and has been working on it since January last year.
