Truth Social Gets Google Greenlight, Soars to Top of Android Charts

Truth Social, the social media platform created by former President Donald Trump, has soared to the top of the Android app download charts after finally being allowed in the Google Play Store this week.

Upon becoming available, Truth Social quickly launched to the top of Android’s app downloads, making it not just the top social media app, but the most popular app in the Play Store overall, according to data from Sensor Tower.

Truth Social has been available for iPhone users through the App Store since February, but Google had blocked the app from its Play Store for the majority of the year.

They can read the tea leaves and see that Democrats are going to lose Congress.

The fact it took this long to get the Truth app on the Google Play store tells me we still have a long way to go.

I've been on Truth since the beginning and the content there is rather benign and civil compared to the junk and hate I saw on Twitter on a daily basis when I was over there.

The reluctance of Google to put Truth in the app store had nothing to do with moderation of content. It was 100% politically driven.

Now they need to do the no-brain thing and allow users who just want to access Truth Social from their PC, not from a phone.

Just installed it. Lots of great channels listed to select. We shall see but it will probably rival Telegram for me...which is where I get a lot of ‘side channel’ information. That said, Telegram is unfiltered and answers to nothing...which can include content (videos) you’d rather not watch - but is important that you’re aware.

Just installed it on my wife’s and my phone.

May not ever use it, but just want to do my part to scare the cheesy puffs out of the Democrat industrial complex.

Use it, if only to get the Trump posts. He posts there frequently. You can set it up to get notified by clicking on the bell icon.

Does TS work on desktops, too, yet?
Anyone know?
Or is it still just for smartypants phones?

Yes, you can use it on the desktop as well (or solely if you don't want to do the cellphone thing).

True. Plus they also agreed to censor content.

Ooops, didn’t read that far down. My bad.
I’ve poked around and there appears to be no desktop app, yet.
Many thanks.

So, when Trump runs in 2024, he can ignore Twitter, although I will miss reading Twitchy articles about his tweets.

Yes, those mean tweets that got so many individual’s knickers in a wad were very amusing.

I can’t get the code they’re sending via SMS, since I have a Flip Phone.

The sign-up copy says “same device” I created the account with, which would be the HP desktop, but they’re sending to a smartypats phone, which I don’t have. A cellular vs internet connection. Drat it, Trump!
