The launch of the app, which like Snapchat and Instagram is centered around photos but is also focused more on keeping users connected with small groups of friends, knocked 7% off Snap Inc’s shares in afternoon trading.
Through Threads, users can upload status, share location and battery status with their close friends on Instagram, the social media company said in a blog post https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2019/10/privacy-matters-threads.
