New Delhi, Feb 20: According to tweets from an executive on a test version seen by Reuters, Donald Trump’s new social media endeavor, Truth Social, is slated to launch in Apple’s App Store on Monday, perhaps marking the former president’s return to social media on the US Presidents Day holiday.
A verified account for the network’s chief product officer, Billy B., responded to queries about the app from users asked to use it during its test period in a series of postings late Friday. According to screenshots seen by Reuters, one user inquired when the software, which had been accessible for beta testers this week, would be released to the general public.
“We’re currently set for release in the Apple App store for Monday Feb. 21,” executive responded.
The launch would restore Trump’s social media presence more than a year after he was banned from Twitter Inc, Facebook Inc, and Alphabet Inc’s YouTube after his supporters attacked the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and he was accused of tweeting messages inciting violence.
Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent firm of Truth Social, is led by Devin Nunes, a former Republican US Representative.
According to Truth Social’s Chief Product Officer, the company will establish a policy on verified accounts in the coming weeks.
