It was my understanding that Threads was scheduled to launch tomorrow. What happened?

Seems to have launched at midnight U.K. time

AFAICT (just checked) it hasn't actually hit Android yet. Apparently iOS users got a jump on everyone else. I'm sure as soon as there's a web version my existing Facebook feed will be practically papered over with announcements.

The site now links to the Threads app for Android [1] too, I just tested it and it's working fine [2]. Maybe it's a regional thing?

Having worked there, it's probably more of a gradual-rollout thing. I guess Gatekeeper hadn't added my "social hash" to the enabled range yet.

I downloaded it on my Android about 90 minutes ago.
