How to remove Threads from Instagram while keeping it active

Lifehacker shared an interesting method of “removing” Zuckerberg’s new social networking app without harming your Instagram. The ‘secret’ fix is to remove your stuff, make your profile private, and deactivate it.

Since no one else would be able to see you on the platform, these technically count as removing your Threads app. The first step entails closing the three-dot menu and deleting everything you posted.

Remove private information from your bio, then delete your followers to break the connection. Then, do the following actions to convert your public profile to a private one:

  1. The profile’s Menu button should be tapped.
  2. Go to the Privacy tab next.
  3. Choose Private Profile from the menu.
  4. Then press the OK button.

For complete anonymity on Threads, you might also remove your profile. Although your information would still be on Meta servers and be available for indexing, no one would be able to find you there.

The best thing is that if you decide to switch to Zuckerberg’s social program, you can always regain your account. Here’s how to terminate your Threads account, according to Lifehacker:

  1. The profile’s Menu button should be tapped.
  2. Next, select Account and Deactivate Profile from the menu.
  3. Tap the Deactivate Threads profile to finish.
