After launching in countries like the US and UK last July, Threads will finally expand to users in the European Union on December 14. Meta has not made an official announcement yet, instead opting to sneakily update the Threads Website with an untitled countdown timer (which won't be viewable in countries where Threads is already available) with just under six days left on the clock.
European Instagram users can also search for the term “ticket” within the app to reveal a digital invitation to Threads, along with a scannable QR code and a launch time, which may vary depending on the country the user is located in. We've contacted Meta to confirm details, such as which EU countries Threads could launch in, and will update this story if we hear back.
