Threads updated with separate deletion feature, more visibility for Instagram and Facebook users
The Hindu
Users have to sign up for Threads through Instagram, so deleting Threads previously deleted Instagram as well.
Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri shared on Tuesday that Threads users will soon be able to delete their account without also deleting their Instagram in the process.
In order to delete Meta’s text-based app, users will have to find their settings, go to the ‘Account’ folder, choose ‘Delete or Deactivate Profile,’ and then select deletion.
Mosseri also announced that Facebook and Instagram users will be shown content from Threads, but said Meta is rolling out a setting to let Threads users exclude their posts from this form of cross-platform posting.
In response to askers who wanted to grow their following on Threads, the Instagram chief recommended replying to other users’ posts and getting into conversations instead of simply posting material.
He also said that Meta was “actively exploring” an API option for Threads.

However, Mosseri seemed reluctant to move ahead with a separate Direct Message (DM) option for Threads users, instead pointing to Instagram’s DM system. Users have to create their Threads account through Instagram.

The Opposition Congress demanded that the government open the Gandhi Vatika Museum, depicting Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy and freedom struggle, built at a cost of ₹85 crore in Jaipur’s Central Park last year, during the Congress-led regime in Rajasthan. The museum has not been opened to the public, reportedly because of the administration’s engagements with the State Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.

Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
