A new app created by Twitter’s co-founder and ex-CEO as an alternative to the Elon Musk-owned platform has just launched a version for Android users.

The former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey launched a new Android application called ‘Bluesky’ just hours after losing his Twitter verification badge.

According to the Bluesky website, it promises a “social internet” of the future that gives users more options and frees them from platforms.

However, the app is still in development and can only be accessed with an invitation code obtained after submitting an email address.

It was gathered that the new app would serve as an alternative to Twitter which is now owned by Elon Musk.

According to information gathered from the website: “We are building the AT protocol, a new foundation fie social networking which gives creators independence from platforms, developers the freedom to build , abs users a choice in their experience”.
