Threads App Not Gonna Work in Europe… Here is What You Will See

The popular Threads app, developed by Facebook, will unfortunately not be available for use in Europe. This means that if you have the app installed and you happen to be traveling across Europe, you won't be able to use it. Let's take a closer look at what you can expect to see if you find yourself in this situation.

When you reload the main feed on the app while traveling in Europe, you will still be able to see the posts in your feed, including photos and videos. However, if you try to tap on replies and threads, they simply won't load. This limitation applies to any location within Europe. Additionally, if you attempt to search for something on the app, you may find that the search function is also inaccessible.

While you can visit a specific profile, you won't be able to see the posts from that profile or any replies associated with them. You can still access the person's Instagram profile separately, but the functionalities of the Threads app will remain restricted. Posting new content or starting a new thread will not be possible, and you'll receive an error message if you try to do so.

Furthermore, your own threads will have limited functionality and you won't be able to see the content available in your replies. However, the link to your Instagram profile will still work, and you'll have access to some basic account settings such as taking a break or activating your profile.

In a nutshell, if you're planning a trip to Europe and still want to use the Threads app, be prepared for a limited experience. You'll be able to view the main feed without additional comments and replies, perform basic searches, and visit profiles. However, you won't be able to fully engage with posts from specific profiles.

The exact timeframe for the app's availability in Europe remains uncertain. Currently, it seems that there is a regulatory battle between Facebook and European authorities, which is causing the delay. It is hoped that a resolution can be reached soon, as Europe has a population of around 500 million people and would significantly expand the app's user base.

Ultimately, the app's accessibility in Europe may rely on its popularity and the potential for additional monetization. Until then, users in Europe will have to wait for these issues to be resolved to fully experience the Threads app.
