Read our privacy policy Meta’s new Threads app will not let people leave without deleting their whole Instagram account, its rules warn. If someone starts using Threads, and then wants to leave again, they will be forced to delete their entire Instagram account. “Your Threads profile is part of your Instagram account, and may be deleted at any time by deleting your Instagram account,” a supplemental privacy policy published for Threads warns. Meta has said that it is working on the problem, presumably with a view to allowing people to get rid of their Threads account without deleting all of their data.
