Meta's highly anticipated Twitter clone, Threads, briefly appeared on the Google Play Store before disappearing. Screenshots of the app revealed a user interface similar to Twitter, with features such as character counts, liking, reposting, and circular user images. The leaked screenshots also showed that users could sign in using their Instagram accounts and featured Instagram's blue checkmarks for verified accounts. While Meta has not announced a release date, the accidental appearance fueled speculation of an imminent launch.
