Threads Guide: How to fix “Can’t install Threads” error

Ensure that your phone is connected to a stable and working internet connection. You can try loading a webpage or using other apps that require an internet connection to confirm if your connection is functioning properly.

Insufficient storage space on your device can prevent the installation of new apps. To check your available storage:

1. Open the Settings app on your phone.
2. Look for the “Storage” or “Storage & Memory” option and tap on it.
3. Here, you’ll find the amount of available storage. If it’s low, proceed to the next step.

To create more space for the Threads app, consider deleting unused apps or clearing unnecessary files. Follow these steps:

1. Return to the Settings app.
2. Navigate to “Apps,” “Applications,” or a similar section depending on your device.
3. Look for apps that you no longer use or need. Tap on them and select “Uninstall” or “Delete.”
4. You can also clear the cache or data of certain apps to free up additional space. This option is usually available within the app’s settings.

Or just hold an app and uninstall from the pop-up menu to make space on your phone.

While removing unused apps, ensure that your internet connection remains active and stable. A loss of connection during the uninstallation process may cause complications.

Although Threads has been officially released in over 100 countries globally, there’s a possibility that it might not be available in your country yet. Confirm if the app is supported in your region before proceeding.

After completing the previous steps, restart your phone. This can help resolve temporary glitches and ensure a clean state for the installation.

Now that you’ve addressed the potential causes of the error, try installing the Threads app once again from the official app store. With the previous issues resolved, the installation should proceed without any problems.
