Today, Mark Zuckerberg announced the expansion of Threads to European countries. We’re excited to offer more people the opportunity to follow and join the conversations that interest them. Since launching Threads in July, we’ve made significant improvements to the app, including a web experience, trackable feed, the ability to edit a post, keyword searches, topic tags, and more.
By July, Threads reached over 100 countries, but the European Union was relegated to a future update citing legislative issues. Five months later, Threads arrives in the European Union both in its web version and for other operating systems such as iOS and Android. Integration with the entire Meta ecosystem is a positive factor since it allows the user automatically follow everyone you follow on Instagram as well as start searching for new topics and interesting users within the social network.
The look, as seen since July, is very similar to Twitter/X with infinite scrolling based on text messages with associated conversations. They also have important measures to make Threads a safe space: word silence, powerful security and account control tools, management of mentions, etc.
Remember that you can access Threads starting today with your Instagram account from the app’s official website or by downloading the app from the respective app stores. We will see how the acceptance goes in the coming days but of course This is a hard blow for Elon Musk and his X, which is gradually weakening.
