How to delete Threads account separately?
According to a Meta privacy executive, an important update is coming for Threads. By December, the company said, users will be able to delete their Threads accounts separately from their Instagram accounts.
Threads, Meta’s X-rival social platform, launched in July. However, in order to remove the Threads account, the Instagram profile also had to be deleted. This created privacy and data security issues for users.
While it is possible to deactivate the Threads profile or customize permissions, it is not allowed to remove the account completely. Michel Protti, Meta Security Manager Michel Protti mentioned the technical difficulties of separating Instagram and Threads accounts.
The Share to Twitter button has been removed from the Threads app. This prevents Threads users from posting to Twitter.
In this regard, he stated that they took into account the requests of users to remove their profiles. Accordingly, Meta is now working to delete Threads profiles separately.
The option to remove accounts independent of Instagram will give Threads users more control over their data.
However, X remains popular despite all the developments. This means that users are not giving up their habits easily. Let’s see what Threads will do to increase its popularity.
