Threads updated with separate deletion feature, more visibility for Instagram and Facebook users
The Hindu
Users have to sign up for Threads through Instagram, so deleting Threads previously deleted Instagram as well.
Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri shared on Tuesday that Threads users will soon be able to delete their account without also deleting their Instagram in the process.
In order to delete Meta’s text-based app, users will have to find their settings, go to the ‘Account’ folder, choose ‘Delete or Deactivate Profile,’ and then select deletion.
Mosseri also announced that Facebook and Instagram users will be shown content from Threads, but said Meta is rolling out a setting to let Threads users exclude their posts from this form of cross-platform posting.
In response to askers who wanted to grow their following on Threads, the Instagram chief recommended replying to other users’ posts and getting into conversations instead of simply posting material.
He also said that Meta was “actively exploring” an API option for Threads.
