India Today
Donald Trump's new social media venture, Truth Social, appears set to launch in Apple's App Store on Monday.
Ex-US President and businessman Donald Trump is all set to launch his new social media venture, ‘Truth Social’. The app is expected to be launched in Apple’s App Store on Monday (February 21), according to posts from an executive on a test version accessed by Reuters.
In October 2021, Trump had announced he was launching a social media platform, called Truth Social to "stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech.” The app is owned by the recently created Trump Media & Technology Group.
In a series of posts late on Friday, a verified account for the network’s chief product officer, listed as Billy B., answered questions on the app from people invited to use it during its test phase. One user asked him when the app, which has been available this week for beta testers, would be released to the public.
“We’re currently set for release in the Apple App store for Monday, Feb. 21,” the executive responded.
On 15 February Trump’s eldest son, Donald Jr, tweeted a screenshot of his father’s verified @realDonaldTrump Truth Social account with one post, or “truth”, that he uploaded on 14 February: “Get Ready! Your favorite President will see you soon!”
The launch of Truth Social would mark the return of the former US President on social media after he was banned by Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube following the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol by his supporters, after being accused of posting messages inciting violence.
