, is the new social media platform in town, likely looking to capitalise on whenever a Twitter exodus happens. Though anyone coming from the bird app would see that the Meta app is sorely lacking in terms of features. Making things worse is among the biggest feature missing is the ability to delete your Threads profile without also wiping your Instagram account.
This fine print, as it were is buried under Settings > Account > Deactivate profile > Learn More. Also noted here is the strange limitation of users only being able to deactivate their accounts once a week. Deleting individual posts, on the other hand is no issue.To be clear, deactivating your Threads account will hide your profile, posts and likes.
Instagram head Adam Mosseri has explained on the new social media that because it is powered by Instagram, the two are treated as a singular account. For what it’s worth, the team is “looking into a way to delete your Threads account separately”. But because that process is only starting now, it will be quite some time for that option to finally be available. Naturally, this may be cause to hesitate if you’ve not already jumped onto the bandwagon.
