Donald Trump’s social-media platform, Truth Social, has launched, in a limited form, on the US Apple App Store.
The app had similarities to Twitter, commentators noted – Mr Trump was banned from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube last year.
And some early users had difficulties registering accounts.
Project lead and former congressman Devin Nunes said it was expected to be fully operational by the end of March.
On its website, Truth Social describes itself as a “‘big tent’ social-media platform that encourages an open, free and honest global conversation without discriminating against political ideology”.
