Threads is the latest social media platform attempting to usurp Twitter’s throne, but unlike all of the other competitors, Meta is running this one. Threads officially launched on Wednesday, and while its potential is vast, it’s missing far too many features to replace Twitter quite yet. But new features are on the way, and if you want to be among the first to see them in action, you might want to consider signing up for the Threads beta program.
Earlier today, Instagram engineer Maxime Goovaerts (@lebelge12) announced the beta testing program for the app was open on Google Play. If you want to become a tester, go to this link and hit the “Become a Tester” button. Once you’ve joined the testing program, you can download the updated app from Google Play. If you already have the app, you’ll receive an update.
