Threads Account Deletion Now Available Without Deleting Instagram

When Meta introduced Threads at the beginning of July, interested Instagram users quickly signed up for the new text-focused service, and in only five days, the user base had grown to 100 million. Users soon discovered that this was a one-way street: the only way to deactivate a Threads account was to deactivate your whole Instagram account. formerly.

Steps to delete Threads Account Independently

Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, declared that this limitation has been removed. Users can click Settings > Account > Delete or Deactivate Profile to end their Thread participation. You have the choice to either permanently delete your account or suspend it temporarily, as the name implies. Your Instagram account won't be impacted in any case.

Recently, Meta modified the way it displays Threads posts; as a result, they may now be found on Facebook and other Meta platforms. The second update made public today allows you to restrict this; go to Settings > Privacy. Keep in mind that Instagram will still see your Threads posts; this just affects Facebook.
