It's come as a shock to many that they can't delete their Threads profile without also deleting their Instagram account.

  • Meta’s new Threads app is closely linked to Instagram, so much so that you can’t delete your Threads profile without deleting your Instagram account.

  • This is mentioned clearly in Meta’s supplemental privacy policy, which many new Threads users failed to read in full.

    Wait, does it mean if you already have an Instagram account you also have a threads profile already?

      Threads is basically a new feature of Instagram, they don’t even talk about it as something that is distinct from it.

        Technically Meta already had everything ready for a Twitter functionality. Doesn’t make sense to copy it. Just put together a little differently.
