Meta's Threads Launches in the European Union

Social Media App Threads Now Available to EU Users, Offering Option to Connect with Instagram or Use Without a Profile

  • Meta's social media app Threads has launched in the European Union, five months after its release in other parts of the world.
  • Threads gained more than 100 million users in its first week before those numbers drifted down.
  • Meta will hope it will drive interest in the platform, which has undergone significant improvements since its launch in other countries in July.
  • Threads remains less popular than X, and has many fewer users than TikTok, or other Meta services Instagram and Facebook.
  • People in the EU can choose to create a Threads profile that is connected to their Instagram account or use Threads without a profile.
