Meta’s Threads app expands into Ireland

Meta said it would now allow EU users to sign up to the app using their Instagram profile – if they had one – or to use the app without a profile, which would limit their ability to interact with posts.

After launching in the US and UK to incredible success, Meta’s Threads app has been made available to EU countries (Yui Mok/PA)

Threads, the Meta app designed to take on Elon Musk’s X, is now rolling out in European Union countries for the first time.

When the social media app first launched in July, it was only to a handful of countries including the US and the UK.
