Facebook owner Meta is launching its new app to rival Twitter and says it will go live on Thursday.
The app, called Threads, is available for pre-order on the Apple App Store and will be linked to Instagram.
Screengrabs show a dashboard that looks similar to Twitter.
Meta describes Threads as a text-based conversation app.
The move is the latest in a rivalry between Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter owner Elon Musk.
Last month, the pair agreed to a physical fight, though it is unclear how serious the men were about actually holding a bout.
Meanwhile, Twitter has said that the popular user dashboard, TweetDeck will go behind a pay wall in 30 days time.
The move is the latest push by Mr. Musk as he tries to get users to sign up to Twitter's subscription service, Twitter Blue.
