People using Threads mostly add link of their Threads account in their Instagram bio so they can easily switch their accounts or their followers as well. But some of them may want to remove the link or icon of Threads from Insta bio and use both profiles separately.
Let’s dive deep on how to remove Threads link from Instagram bio either on Laptop, Android or iPhone and some common related questions.
Threads is an alternative app to Twitter introduced by Instagram. It is a text based conversation app. It was introduced on July 05, 2023. As it is developed by Insta, its icon is also attachable to your Insta profile bio.
It also allows users to share photos, videos and links with their friends and followers. It provides a very convenient way to connect with the world differently. It also enables you to share posts with your trust worthy ones. Threads provide some extra functions that are not found on Twitter. You can see who is reading your posts and it also provides you more privacy settings.
When you download and install Threads by Meta, you are provided with unique ID number along with a nice threads logo. That appears on your linked Instagram profile’s bio.
No, it doesn’t delete Instagram account. You can easily remove the Threads icon from your bio without losing your Instagram account because it is a separate app.
It has been claimed by Instagram that the Threads icon is temporarily shown on One’s profile and will automatically disappear after a few days.
If you really want to remove the Threads icon from your bio quickly, you only have to follow these few simple steps:
There is nothing to worry about. Just keep it in mind that you have removed only the badge and link of the Threads from your bio and you can get it back anytime just by enabling the option again. Removing Threads link nothing does with Threads or Instagram account. You can still use both accounts individually unchanged.
However if you want to deactivate your Threads account you can follow the following steps:
It will remain deactivated until you sign back in. There is a time limit of 30 days for signing in back again. You can sign in back only within this time limit. Once the duration has passed you couldn’t be able to activate it again.
When you hide the badge, people visiting your Instagram profile will not notice that either you are on Threads or not.
As I mentioned before, the official Instagram app is connected to the Threads so despite hiding the badge from your Instagram bio your Instagram account will still be attached to your Threads account. So, anyone visiting your Threads account can easily reach your Instagram account too.
You can use Threads with a separate Instagram account. For this you have to create a new Instagram account.
When you select to create a new account it will ask further details. You have to put in your user name, password, phone number and email address. After creating new Instagram account open the threads app it will require to log in with your Instagram account that you have just created. In this way you can use Threads with a separate Instagram account.
