In response to the issue, Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, addressed the matter in a post on Threads. He assured users that Meta is aware of the problem and is actively seeking a solution that will enable them to delete their Threads account separately from their Instagram account. The company is also working on adding essential features that are currently missing from the app, such as the following tab, hashtags, fediverse support, and messaging.
In the interim, users have alternative options to manage their Threads account. They can deactivate their account to hide their profile and content, set their profile to private, or delete individual threads. It’s worth noting that users can also sign up for a Threads account using an email address or phone number that is not linked to their Instagram account, providing a way to maintain complete separation between the two platforms.
