Roth also pointed out that users may need to restart the app to see some of the changes. He advised users to wait if the new changes do not appear. Roth even mentioned that Meta is using a system of server-delivered flags that may take some time to be fully rolled out. The update will be available in all regions except the EU, where the app is not available.
Threads not available in EU countries
The latest platform is not available for EU customers for some privacy issues. According to a report by PhoneAreana, several users have tried to access Threads with a VPN service, but all weren’t able to connect. The report added that Meta is “dedicated to following EU regulations”.
This app checks more than the geolocation of the users’ signals to stop them from accessing the social media platform. As per the report, some users were able to log in, but they were not allowed to do anything. Threads became the fastest-growing app by crossing the 100 million subscribers mark within weeks of its release.
