The delay in the EU launch was due to the need for approval from the European Commission over privacy provisions. Threads, known as a "Twitter killer" app, allows users to browse content without creating a profile on the app or Instagram. Meta also announced plans for interoperability with Threads, allowing posts to appear on other social platforms.
