Meta is launching a Threads beta program for Android, an engineer for the company announced on Friday. The beta program will give users early access to new features and bug fixes, but like any other beta program, there is an increased risk when downloading an unstable build.

Threads launched on Wednesday and has already attracted 70 million users in just two days. The platform is missing a few notable features, such as direct messages, a “Following” feed, a full web version, a chronological feed and more. Given that the platform currently has somewhat of a bare-bones structure, the new beta program could be tempting for users who want to get their hands on new features.
