You could be one of the tens of millions of users who flocked to Threads when it launched yesterday. In fact, many are already convinced of this alternative to Twitter’s signature Meta, although everything is still a bit confusing. This does not mean that the platform is not bug-free, quite the contrary. Indeed, many essential features are still missing.
The most shameful thing is undoubtedly the lack of a news feed dedicated to the people we follow. Others also mention a belated post or even hashtags that are currently surprisingly completely useless. But the most problematic is that you probably haven’t thought about it yet. Let’s just say that we recommend that you do not delete your account at this time.
Be careful, don’t delete your Threads account if you care about your Instagram account.
And for good reason: in operation you risk losing your Instagram account. If you’ve ever created a Topic profile for yourself, you’ve probably noticed that the app prompts you to link your Instagram account. The new social network was then presented as: “driven” Via the meta platform.
Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri confirmed this in a post on Threads and said: “Threads is operated by Instagram, so it’s the only account for now, but we’re working on a way to delete your Threads account separately.” Otherwise, the only solution for now is to deactivate your account to remove all content posted on the platform.
The steps to follow are:
- open app Thread
- go to tab Profileat the bottom right of your screen.
- click menu Settingsat the top right of your screen.
- let’s meet Bill > Disable Profile
- push button Disable Topic Profile
