Mark Zuckerberg clearly doesn\u2019t want Instagram users to delete Threads account easily. Right now, there\u2019s simply one option: Deactivate your Threads profile. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How to delete your Threads account? Well, it’s not easy. To permanently delete your Threads profile and related data you will also have to delete the Instagram account that you used to sign up for Threads.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The much hyped Twitter-rival app\u2013 Threads has just launched and Mark Zuckerberg claims<\/a> that 10 million Instagram users have signed up within seven hours of the launch. The new Threads apps, at present, can only be accessed via an Instagram account and you cannot sign up for the Threads app independently.<\/p>\n

While Zuckerberg has made the sign up process very easy for Instagram users<\/a>, what you should know is that you cannot delete your Threads profile. To permanently delete your Threads profile and related data you will also have to delete the Instagram account that you used to sign up for Threads.<\/p>\n

Once you have signed up for Threads, you can only temporarily deactivate your profile. You simply cannot hit the undo button and delete your Threads profile without losing your Instagram account.<\/p>\n

Note that deactivating your Threads profile will not affect your Instagram account. However, things will change if you deactivate your Instagram account. If you deactivate your Instagram account, your linked Threads profile will automatically deactivate too.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another aspect is that you can only deactivate your Threads profile<\/a> once a week. Zuckerberg clearly doesn\u2019t want people to walk away that easily. Right now, there\u2019s simply one option to get away from Threads: Deactivate your profile. <\/p>\n

As you cannot delete your Threads profile independently, to deactivate your profile follow these steps:<\/p>\n

1. Visit your profile<\/p>\n

2. Go to options by tapping on the \u2018double dash\u2019 icon on the top extreme right corner, above your display profile picture.<\/p>\n

3. Tap Account, then tap Deactivate profile.<\/p>\n

4. Tap Deactivate Threads profile, then confirm.<\/p>\n

Once you deactivate your Threads profile, your posts and interactions with others\u2019s posts won\u2019t be visible on Threads. Note that deactivating your Threads profile won\u2019t delete your Threads data or affect your Instagram account. You will have to individually delete posts.<\/p>\n
