  • Meta’s new Threads app is closely linked to Instagram, so much so that you can’t delete your Threads profile without deleting your Instagram account.

  • This is mentioned clearly in Meta’s supplemental privacy policy, which many new Threads users failed to read in full.

Wait, does it mean if you already have an Instagram account you also have a threads profile already?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yup. Remember this when they tout how threads "already has millions of users". They're all zombie accounts.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

That's not true. Instagram has 1.6bn users and all can use their Instagram logins to sign in to Threads. The roughly 1% who have signed up already have chosen to activate Threads, it's not done automatically.

I wonder if investors and advertisers will also realize this.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

They probably will realise that 10 million is less than 1% of 1.6bn and that they can safely ignore people making shit up.

Threads is basically a new feature of Instagram, they don't even talk about it as something that is distinct from it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Technically Meta already had everything ready for a Twitter functionality. Doesn't make sense to copy it. Just put together a little differently.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I don't think so, I think they are using OAuth 2.0 to create a threads account based on Instagram credentials.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah aside from instagram login you don't have to do anything for sign up
