USA – Changes are being rolled out to the Threads app that will enable users to delete their account while keeping the linked Instagram account.

An instagram account is required to sign up to the Twitter-like app, but users were frustrated that it was impossible to delete threads alone.

Instagram Boss Adam Mosseri revealed the change in a post on Threads.
Initially hailed as a “Twitter-killer”, Threads struggled to sustain early record-breaking growth.

The inability to fully delete an account without deleting the associated Instagram account was heavily criticised.

Users were only able to deactivate – not delete – their Threads account if they wanted to keep their linked instagram profile going.

Mr. Mosseri posted on threads the new feature will be accessible from the settings menu in a “Delete or deactivate profile” section.
