Meta must face a lawsuit brought on by defunct photography app Phhhoto which accuses Instagram of driving it out of business with 'Boomerang'

Meta must face a lawsuit brought on by defunct animated photography app Phhhoto which accuses Instagram of copying its main feature and driving it out of business.Phhhoto launched in July 2014 and reached 10 million registered users within two years.

By 2017, Phhhoto had to shut down its app. And four years later, in 2021, the now-defunct photography app sued Meta on antitrust grounds. According to the company, Meta had previously opened up a conversation to integrate Phhhoto, but the app founders claim that this outward effort was just a show. Instead, the lawsuit alleges Meta wanted to get rid of the competition and force Phhhoto out of business in violation of federal antitrust law.
