Reuters learned of the launch after viewing posts by a network executive answering questions on Friday from people invited to use the app during a test phase this week.
- One user asked when the app would be available to the general public, to which the network’s chief product officer answered, “we’re currently set for release in the Apple App store for Monday Feb. 21.”
Trump announced that he intended to launch a social media network called Truth Social in Oct. 2021.
- Axios last month scooped that Truth Social was reaching out to social media influencers asking them to “reserve their spots” for when the network launched in February or March.
