  "Barcelona" is the code name of the Threads project. The Threads Android app is called "com.instagram.barcelona".

    Maybe they should have named it something other than "Threads", the other day it just got out that these guys https://threads.com/ https://threads.com/ have a trademark filing for "Threads" as a name for a communications service. If I picked out the right two screenshots you might have a hard time telling them apart https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87522273&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87522273&caseType=SERIAL_... and "Threads Group, Inc." is really the people behinds threads.com https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/threads-aa50 https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/threads-aa50 "Barcelona" might really have been available. "Threads Group, Inc." would be within their rights to make Meta change the name.

      > "Threads Group, Inc." would be within their rights to make Meta change the name. Meta's use of the term "Threads" for a communications service likely actually predates or at least rival's "Threads Group, Inc.". Meta had an app called Threads until it was shut down in late 2021.
