Threads is so thoroughly connected to Instragram that you couldn’t delete your Threads account without deleting Instagram, too. Meta is rolling out a change to fix that problem.
Threads, Meta’s Twitter/X alternative, got a rough start. It was missing all kinds of features, from (still absent) direct messages to a Web platform. You couldn’t even delete your Threads account without deleting your Instagram account. But the service just addressed that last issue.
The news comes from the current head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri. If you regret creating a Threads account but want to keep your Instagram account, you’ll soon be able to delete the former account without deleting the latter.
