Instagram to pull the plug on Snapchat-like Threads app; To begin testing ability to add music to feed posts

Instagram: Instagram’s Snapchat-like messaging app called Threads is about to be discontinued. Threads had been launched in 2019, but now that the decision has been made to close the curtains on it, users would now be prompted to move back to the original Instagram app. The support for Threads will end by the time 2022 rolls around, and an in-app notice regarding the closure of the app would begin to be rolled out starting November 23. Though this development had been noticed by reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi first, it has now been confirmed by Instagram.
