How to Delete or Deactivate Your Threads Account on Instagram

Hey there! So you’ve been wondering how to get rid of your Threads account without deleting your Instagram? Well, good news! I’m here to help you out. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the steps to deactivate or delete your Threads account on Instagram. Let’s dive in!

Understanding Deactivation vs. Deletion

Before we begin, it’s important to know the difference between deactivating and deleting your Threads account. Deactivation hides your profile, threads, replies, and likes, but you can easily reactivate it by logging back in. On the other hand, deletion permanently removes your profile. While you can’t directly delete it, we’ll show you how to get as close as possible.

Accessing the Account Menu

To start the process, click on the menu icon in your Instagram app’s upper right-hand corner. Once you’ve done that, scroll down and select “Account” from the list of options. We’re almost there!

Deactivating Your Threads Profile

Within the account settings, you’ll spot an option called “Deactivate Profile” at the top. Click on it, and a pop-up will appear, asking for your confirmation. Go ahead and click the red button to deactivate your threads profile. Remember, this action won’t affect your Instagram account, which is reassuring.

• Tap  in the bottom right to go to your profile.
• Tap  in the top right.
• Tap  Account, then tap Deactivate profile.
• Tap Deactivate Threads profile, then confirm your choice.

Reactivating Your Threads Account

If you ever decide to bring your Threads account back to life, all you need to do is log back in. Simply enter your credentials, and voila! Your profile will be reactivated, and you’ll regain access to all your threads, replies, and likes. It’s super easy!

Deleting the App

If you’re certain that you want to remove your Threads account permanently, you can take an additional step.
