Threads Delayed in Europe? Install Threads in Europe on iPhone/Android [100% Working]

Part 1: What is Threads and Why It's Delayed in Europe?

First things first, what is Threads Instagram? Why does it even exist? Read this section to find out.

• Threads is a new social media platform by the company Meta. It’s the same company that owns and runs Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp — and is owned by Mark Zuckerberg.
• This app is designed and built very much like Twitter. That’s because it’s made to compete with Twitter.
• In fact, it’s so similar to Twitter that Elon Musk (owner of Twitter) currently has a lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg for copying Twitter.

Now, the question arises, why can’t you perform an Instagram Threads download in Europe?

Well, that has to do with the privacy concerns that come with this app. You see, Threads collects almost every kind of data a company could collect from a consumer. That means it’s very intrusive in public privacy.

Due to the strict rules in the EU, Threads is currently not permitted by the government to be downloaded. This is to prevent the privacy of users from Meta.

Part 4: Can I Use Threads in Europe after Installing It?

After you download Threads, you should have no problem creating an account and using it.

Remember, if you have an Instagram account, you can use it to log in to Threads. You don’t need a separate account. However, if you’re having connection issues, you might need to connect to a VPN to use it.

You can use any VPN app of choice. But, if you don’t have one already, we recommend using Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 VPN app available on Android and iOS both. Just search “1.1.1.1” in your respective App Store to find it.
