Meta Platforms Inc’s Threads app – the social network launching this week to take on Twitter Inc – isn’t yet appearing in some European app stores after users in the US and UK were offered a preorder option.

App stores in some European Union countries, including Germany and Belgium, weren’t displaying Threads as of late Tuesday. The new service is expected to go live on Thursday, according to a listing on Apple Inc’s App Store.
