If you’ve just downloaded Threads, you might be encountering the not loading or working message. Don’t worry, we can help with a potential fix.
The world seems to be adjusting to the Threads, or what some like to call, the Twitter Killer. Nobody knows if the hype is going to last past a month, but with over 10 million new users within the first few hours, it’s definitely something.
Since the launch though, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. Not only has Threads not rolled out for EU countries amidst privacy concerns, but users have been experiencing some bugs and glitches. One of which is the ‘Threads not loading’ message. Luckily, we’ve found some potential fixes.
How to fix Threads not loading or working
Remember that if you’re based in the EU and some other countries, you won’t be able to load Threads. If you’re not though, try any of the following suggestions.
Ensure your internet connection is stable
Try restarting your router connection to clear the cache and disable any devices connected to it. It’s also worth trying to switch between mobile data an an internet connection.
Restart the app
Closing and reopening the Threads app might refresh it and get it back to running smoothly.
Make sure you’ve got the latest version of the app
Sometimes app glitches are because you’re running on an older version of the app. Head over to the App Store and make sure it’s up-to-date.
Try clearing app cache
Head over to your phone settings, go to your list of apps and find Threads. From there you should find the option to clear the cache. It’s also worth clearing the data whilst you’re at it to fix the issue.
Final word
It’s natural to experience a few teething problems with a new social media platform, no matter how big it is. We recommend trying all our suggestions and being patient. If you do get second thoughts, consider deactivating your Threads account. You might also enjoy checking out the other Twitter alternatives, or else look into how you can get that Bluesky invite for free.
