Donald Trump’s new social media venture, Truth Social, appears set to launch in Apple’s App Store on Monday, according to posts from an executive on a test version viewed by Reuters, potentially marking the return of the former president to social media on the U.S. Presidents Day holiday.
The launch would restore Trump’s presence on social media more than a year after he was banned from Twitter Inc, Facebook and Alphabet Inc’s YouTube following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters, after he was accused of posting messages inciting violence. In addition to the post disclosing Monday’s launch date, the screenshots seen by Reuters show the app is now at version 1.0, suggesting it has reached a level ready for public release. As late as Wednesday, it was at version 0.9, according to two people with access to that version.Apple’s App Store listing indicates that Truth Social is expected to be released on Feb. 21, a date that a source familiar with the venture confirmed in January.
Asked whether users would be able to edit their “truths,” the executive replied “not yet.” The ability to edit posts after publication is something Twitter users have long sought. Even as details of the app begin trickling out, TMTG remains mostly shrouded in secrecy and is regarded with skepticism by some in tech and media circles. It is unclear, for example, how the company is funding its current growth.
🤣 If you have to call it truth, you're already in trouble. Artofthefail
How long does Apple allow it to be present on its App Store before it violates its terms of service? I’m going with 48 hours.
“Truth”. Right. Sure hope the FBI is gonna be monitoring that cuz you know the KKK are gonna use it.
It's amazing how some people can twist the lies to such an extent as to make it seem truthful. Trump is one of those people.
The speed at which this app is going to be hacked and ridiculed is going to be mindblowing.

This will be such fun for hackers.
It shouldn't be allowed to launch as it's full of bogus info, nefarious objectives!!! Are there no morality or integrity policings of these apps? If not, everything we strive to teach our children & their children etc, is in question! Humanity is breaking down due to the internet

Desperate times for him thus desperate measures.
Awesome we can all dump the state propaganda you all out out.
truth and Trump in the same sentence is ridiculous.
If you have a cult, and they're only tuning in to what you say, you have total control over them.
I can hardly wait to miss it. 🙄
