(Reuters) – Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s Truth Social app will launch on a web browser at the end of May, Chief Executive Devin Nunes said on Monday.

Nunes stated that Truth Social is not yet approved to launch on Google’s Playstore for Android. 

Nunes stated that PWA (Web Browser), will be launched by Nunes at the end of May. This will enable access to any device. “After that we will launch an Android App… pending approval from Google!”

To scale up, the app needs to be accessible in Google Play or Apple (NASDAQ 🙂 App Stores.

Truth Social’s parent company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), launched with the mission of standing up to Big Tech, after Trump was kicked off Twitter (NYSE:), Facebook (NASDAQ:) and YouTube for allegedly inciting or glorifying violence during the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riots.

However, the social media venture has limitations due to its dependence on Alphabet’s Google and Apple which own app stores that are the most popular in the smartphone market.

Truth Social was launched on the Apple App Store in February 21st and for some time, it was the most downloaded app free of charge there. On Monday, it was at number 2 on the list.

Trump began posting on the site late Thursday, for the first time since he posted one “truth” – as posts are called – on Feb. 14.

TMTG plans to become public via a merger of blank-check company Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC). The Securities and Exchange Commission is currently reviewing the deal and it is expected to take months before it is finalized.
