Now Threads profiles can be deleted separately from the Instagram account

Recently Meta also rolled out a free-to-use Edit button on the platform.

Key highlights

  • Meta has introduced the feature to delete your Threads profile without removing your Insta account.
  • Earlier users were able to disable their Threads profile temporarily.

Last month Meta rolled out edit features for Threads. Along with this it also brought Voice Threads functionality to the users. Just a few days back the company introduced the function to stop their Threads post being suggested to users on Instagram and Facebook. Now after receiving some backlash from users, it has now brought the ability to delete their Threads profile without deleting their Instagram account at the same time.

Until now there was no other way to delete your profile on Threads without removing your Instagram account because Threads profiles are connected to individual Instagram accounts. Instead, users were only given the option to disable their Threads profile temporarily.

Now you are allowed to delete your Threads Profile without risking your Instagram account. Yes, Meta has finally brought the ability to delete Threads profile without deleting your Instagram as both the profiles are linked together. Meta launched Threads in July this year to take on the microblogging platform Twitter. From the very beginning users have been asking for the ability to delete Threads profiles without also removing the associated Instagram account.

Now Threads profiles can be deleted separately from the Instagram account

The information was shared by Adam Mosseri, Instagram chief. To delete your Threads profile, visit Settings → Account → Delete or Deactivate Profile, then select delete.

In addition to this, the social media’s head has also announced another feature allowing users to see Threads posts directly on Facebook and Instagram, to help expand your audience and grow your reach. He said, “We heard feedback that you want more control over the experience, so we’re rolling out a way to opt out of being featured outside Threads in Settings → Privacy.”

The latest update lets users select whether or not they want to be shown on platforms other than Threads. The Privacy section of the Settings menu is where you may find this ability to opt-out.

Recently Meta also rolled out a free-to-use Edit button on the platform. Threads users can edit their posts as many times as they like during the minute barrier. After the allotted timeframe one cannot edit their Thread post. The Voice Threads option is another tool that has also been added. The feature allows users to add a recorded audio message as a Threads post.
