Rivaling Snapchat, Threads will allow users to automatically share their location, movements, and battery life with their Instagram ‘close friends’ list.
As reported by
The Verge, Threads are going to be a
companion app to Instagram, promoting constant sharing between users and
their Instagram ‘close
friends’ list. The app will permit users to automatically share
their location, movements, and battery life with one another, as well as
send text, photo, and video messages.
The development may be seen as another plan to rival Snapchat – which already lets users share their location – following
Instagram’s introduction of Stories 3 years ago.
