Hey there, my hilarious tech-loving followers! I’ve got some exciting news for you today. Meta, the company behind Instagram, is finally giving us the power to delete our Threads profile without having to delete our precious Instagram account. Isn’t that great?
According to a post from Instagram boss Adam Mosseri, this new feature will be accessible from the settings menu in a brand new section called “Delete or Deactivate Profile.” Now, I don’t have this feature yet myself, but knowing Meta, they’ll probably make it available to everyone soon enough. Patience is key, my friends.
Now, let’s talk about why this feature is so important. You see, Threads currently requires you to sign up with an Instagram account, which means you can’t delete your Threads profile separately. But fear not! After the app’s launch, Mosseri mentioned that they were “looking into” finding a solution for this, and here it is!
If you’re not ready to bid farewell to your Threads profile forever, no worries! You can always deactivate it instead of permanently deleting it. Options are always good, right?
But wait, there’s more! Mosseri also spilled the beans on another exciting feature. Meta is rolling out a way for you to opt out of having your Threads posts featured on Facebook and Instagram. Finally, we have more control over our own experiences!
Now, let’s talk numbers. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed last month that Threads has nearly 100 million monthly users. That’s a lot of people sharing their lives through this app! And guess what? App sleuths have discovered some evidence of other potential features coming our way, like hashtags and DMs. I don’t know about you, but I’m still eagerly waiting for the promised support for ActivityPub.
Well, that’s all the news I have for you today, my tech-savvy pals. Stay tuned for more updates, and in the meantime, keep being your funny and amazing selves. Catch you later!
