Threads Now Allows Users To Delete Their Profiles and Opt Out Of Posts Showing on Facebook and Instagram

Threads

Threads introduced new control features in response to community feedback. Users can now delete their Threads profile independently of their Instagram account and opt out of displaying Threads posts on Facebook and Instagram.

Why It Matters: The creator community experienced a small uproar when it was discovered that deleting a Threads account also required deleting the associated Instagram account. This requirement prevented some creators from joining Threads.

Now, with the option to delete each profile individually and the ability for creators to opt-out of displaying posts on other Meta apps, Threads has addressed and removed some of the barriers for creators around control of their presence and control.
