IMPORTANT Thing You Can’t Miss About Threads

The great thing is that you can use the same username and follow the same accounts as you did on Instagram. The settings like blocking, restricting users, and hiding words are synchronized between the two platforms.

However, it’s important to note that if you decide you no longer want to use Threads, you can only deactivate your Threads account. Deleting Threads would mean deleting your Instagram account as well, so make sure to consider that before taking any action.

When using Threads, you’ll see content from the accounts you follow on both Instagram and Threads. This means you’ll get updates from your favorite accounts on both platforms. Additionally, Threads may also show you recommended content to discover new accounts or content that might interest you.

So, Threads provides a seamless connection to your Instagram account, allowing you to enjoy content from the accounts you follow on both platforms while offering features and settings that are synced between them.
