Explained: All you need to know about Threads, Meta’s new Twitter rival app

Twitter has been in the news for chaos since Elon Musk took over as CEO last year. Now, Meta is gearing up to challenge Musk and is likely to launch a rival app to Twitter, called Threads, on Thursday. After taking over Twitter, Musk laid off around 80% of staff, rolled out the much-criticised Twitter Blue, constantly went back and forth with changes and reinstated several banned accounts. On Monday, Twitter announced that access to TweetDeck, an app that allows users to monitor several accounts simultaneously, would be limited to verified accounts from next month, as reported by AFP. Others features such as video chat service Rooms built into the Facebook Messenger, similar to the popular videoconference app, Zoom, didn't gain the expected popularity.
