When Elon Musk announced X would be limiting the number of tweets a user can view in one day, Meta jumped on the opportunity to launch its own text-based platform, Threads, early. The app made its debut in the US in July and has since expanded to over 100 other countries.

Despite its growth, Threads hasn’t been available in Europe due to regulatory restrictions – that is, until now. Mark Zuckerberg announced the news, writing, “Today we’re opening Threads to more countries in Europe. Welcome everyone.”
