Up until now if you wanted to delete your Threads account, you would have to also delete your Instagram account. An update coming soon will change that, as well as new privacy updates.
Meta’s Head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, has shared a post on Threads regarding some upcoming updates to the app which are primarily focused on user account management and privacy. One of these is something that has been requested ever since the launch of the site earlier this year as a competitor to X. Previously, user accounts on Threads were directly tied to Instagram accounts meaning that if you deleted your Threads account you would have to also delete your Instagram account.
