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

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.
Seems to have launched at midnight U.K. time
