In this guide, we will show you the steps to deactivate your Threads account. There has been a new entry to the Metaverse and it’s Instagram’s micro-blogging app which acts as a direct competitor to Twitter. Ever since Elon Musk took over the charge, it’s no hidden secret that Twitter has taken a turn for the worse. So the writing was on the walls that users were eagerly awaiting to jump ships over to a new competitor as soon as possible.
And when you get the platform from a parent company that has the likes of Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp under its arsenal, then you might not think twice before making your preserve felt on this platform. However, if the app fails to checkmark your requirements, you want a temporary detox from social media, or even wish to leave this platform for good, then deactivating your Threads account might be your best bet.
But why not directly delete the account if you are planning to leave the platform anyways? Well, this is because your Threads account is interlinked with Instagram and hence you cannot simply delete the former. In other words, you’ll have to delete your Instagram account in order to delete your Threads account, for which many users are still not ready. If you are also in the same boat, then your best bet is to deactivate your Threads account. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. Follow along.
