(Telecompaper) Facebook is developing a new messaging app called Threads that is meant to promote constant, intimate sharing between users and their closest friends, The Verge reports. Called Threads, the app is designed as a companion to Instagram and invites users to automatically share their location, speed and battery life with friends, along with more typical text, photo and video messages using Instagram. The app, which is designed for sharing with the “close friends” list on Instagram, is now being tested internally at Facebook.
