Trump’s new social media app tops Apple rankings on first day

Truth Social reportedly attracts more than 150,000 users for its waitlist as sign-ups begin for iPhone owners

Former US President Donald Trump’s new social media platform has debuted with more user demand than it can handle, instantly leading Apple’s app store in new downloads for free apps, and drawing a lengthy waiting list.

Truth Social shot to the top of the charts on Monday, its first day of availability for users of iPhone and other Apple devices, beating out the likes of TikTok, YouTube and Instagram. It is not yet offered for Android-based devices or users outside the US.

The app was available for download on Monday for Apple users who pre-ordered Truth Social. However, many who tried to join struggled to register, getting an error message or being told that, “Due to massive demand, we have placed you on our waitlist.” 

According to CNN, the waiting list had more than 150,000 signees on day one of release. The virtual line stretched to over 370,000 on Tuesday morning, some would-be users reported.
