Meta’s thread is one of the hottest social media apps, directly competing against the world’s biggest microblogging app, Twitter. It has been built under Instagram, and to let users know if the Instagram app is available on Thread company, they have integrated the Threads logo with individual profiles. Not only this, but they also give a number badge when you join Threads, sharing information about your profile.
Threads have some unusual restrictions on profile customization and do not allow users to delete their Threads account without deleting their Instagram account. However, users can deactivate their Threads account, and in order to delete it, delete your Instagram account. The company also does not allow you to change your Threads username. If you want to change it, change your Instagram Threads, which will reflect on your Instagram account.
