Threads allows you to delete your Threads account without affecting your Instagram account. This action was previously not possible, as the only way to delete a profile on Threads was to also delete the associated Instagram account that was used to create a Threads account. With the latest Threads app update, you can now delete your Threads profile without leaving Instagram.

Your Threads profile will now be permanently deleted.
