Meta launched Threads in early July, and as curious Instagram users signed up for the new text-oriented service, it grew to 100 million users in just five days. However, users quickly realized that it was a one-way street: once a Threads account was activated, the only way to delete it was to delete the entire Instagram account. Era.
Instagram boss Adam Mosseri announced that this restriction has now been lifted. Users who wish to sign out of Threads can go to Settings > Accounts > Delete or Deactivate Profile. As the name suggests, this gives you the option to temporarily suspend your account or permanently delete it. In any case, your Instagram account will not be affected.
Now you can delete your Threads account without affecting your Instagram account
Meta recently changed the way it displays thread posts, and they now appear on other Meta platforms like Facebook. The second change announced today is that you can limit this: go to Settings > Privacy for that. Note that this only applies to Facebook and not Instagram, which will continue to show posts from your threads regardless.
