Cannot believe that they have a second stand-alone IG spinoff app, and they ALSO called it Threads[0].

That's really cool. Someone from that project must've been really attached to the name.

It's interesting that Facebook/Instagram keeps launching new apps to identify new usecases. Most of them rarely gets heard of, but perhaps they gain a lot of insight even when they shut down.

On the flip side, I hope it's not like Google where services are launched to die soon for the sake of enhancing a promo package.


haha, wow. That is impressive.


Oh there have been many more spinoff IG apps. Boomerang, Hyperlapse, and IGTV.


Thats Google level of shutdowns!


No its not, Google kills projects before they even mature. META kills them when they are already dead.
