San Francisco. By December, Meta is preparing to give Threads users the option to delete their account without affecting their Instagram profile.

There is currently no way for users to delete a Threads account without deleting their Instagram account.

At the ‘TechCrunch Disrupt’ event, Michele Protti, Meta’s chief privacy officer for Threads, said that the social network is “working on launching the feature to actually delete an account in Threads by December”.

“Technically, it is extremely challenging to allow the removal of a separate Threads account without removing your overall Instagram account out of the gate,” he said.

Meta “took special care to ensure that users could still do so by deactivating an account, setting it to private, or deleting individual threads” to hide all content.

The social networking company is also working on integrating Threads with “Fediverse.”

According to the latest data from Insider Intelligence, Threads will have 23.7 million active monthly users in the US by the end of 2023.

In contrast, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok are expected to have 177.9 million, 135.2 million and 102.3 million US active monthly users by the end of the year, respectively.

Elon Musk’s X is estimated to have 56.1 million active monthly users in the US by the end of 2023.

Meanwhile, Threads has added a feature that will let users switch between multiple accounts on its mobile app without logging out.

This feature will make it easier for users to switch between work and personal profiles.(IANS)
