But the highly-anticipated new service, which requires an Instagram account for onboarding, features an intriguing stipulation: Deleting a Threads account requires deleting the linked Instagram account.In a ‘<a href="https://help.instagram.com/515230437301944" target="_blank">Supplemental Privacy Policy</a>,’ Meta explains: “You may deactivate your Threads profile at any time, but your Threads profile can only be deleted by deleting your Instagram account.”The rationale, Meta elaborates on the policy page, is that a Threads profile is part of the user’s Instagram account. The discovery of this stipulation has surprised many users.[MEDIA=twitter]1676775597735923719[/MEDIA]<a href="https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/06/threads-delete-profile-instagram-meta/#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=16886439791047&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Ftechcrunch.com%2F2023%2F07%2F06%2Fthreads-delete-profile-instagram-meta%2F" target="_blank">https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/06/threads-delete-profile-instagram-meta/#amp_tf=From %1$s&aoh=16886439791047&referrer=https://www.google.com&ampshare=https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/06/threads-delete-profile-instagram-meta/</a></blockquote>
