Watch Out Elon Musk! Instagram's Twitter-Like Text App Could Arrive By June

A new Twitter-like text app could be arriving on Meta Platforms' META Instagram, according to a post from Lia Haberman's ICYMI newsletter.

Details on the feature have reportedly surfaced on calls between Meta and creators, which suggested a late June release. 

Haberman, citing a creator who met with the company, reports the app will feature a single sign-in with your Instagram details. A user's handle, bio, and verification details will carry over from Instagram, according to Haberman.

Other features include text posts of up to 500 characters and the ability to attach links, photos, and videos.

Musk also suggested that Instagram-like features, such as video editing and filters, could be coming to Twitter soon

Price Action: Meta shares traded lower by 0.93% Friday afternoon at $244.55 as broader markets fell on debt ceiling uncertainty.
