Threads offers an array of features that allow you to manage your threads and your profile, such as viewing post information, editing your profile, deleting posts, switching between multiple accounts, and deactivating your profile. Let’s go through each of them.
Viewing Information about Your Posts on Threads
- Launch the Threads app on your Android or iPhone.
- Tap ‘profile’ in the bottom right to go to your profile.
- Scroll down and tap the post you want to view more information about. You’ll see the number of people who liked or replied to your post below it.
- Tap the like count to see a list of who liked your post. Tap the reply count to see who replied to your post.
Please note: If a private profile you don’t follow replies to you, you won’t be able to see their reply.
Editing Your Profile on Threads
- Launch the Threads app on your Android or iPhone.
- Tap ‘profile’ in the bottom right to go to your profile.
- Tap ‘Edit profile’ below your profile information at the top.
- Tap ‘Bio’ or ‘Link’ to update the information, then tap ‘Done’ in the top right.
- To edit your profile picture, tap your profile picture, then tap on one of the choices to make your selection.
- Tap ‘Done’ in the top right, then tap ‘Done’ again to confirm.
Please note: Updating your profile picture, bio, or link on Threads won’t affect your profile picture, bio, or link on Instagram. To update other things like your username and personal information, edit your profile on Instagram.
Deleting Posts on Threads
- Launch the Threads app on your Android or iPhone.
- Tap ‘profile’ in the bottom right to go to your profile.
- Tap ‘more actions’ next to the post you want to delete.
- Tap ‘Delete’, then tap ‘Delete’ again to confirm.
Please note: When you delete a post, it’ll no longer be visible on Threads. If someone replied to your original post in a thread before you deleted it, their reply won’t be deleted.
Adding and Switching between Multiple Threads Accounts
- Launch the Threads app on your Android or iPhone.
- Tap ‘profile’ in the bottom right to go to your profile.
- Tap ‘settings’ in the top right.
- Tap ‘Log out’.
- Tap ‘Switch accounts’ at the bottom, then tap ‘Log in to another Instagram account’.
To switch between accounts you’ve added, follow the steps above and select the Instagram account you want to log in with at step 5.
Temporarily Deactivating Your Threads Profile
- Launch the Threads app on your Android or iPhone.
- Tap ‘profile’ in the bottom right to go to your profile.
- Tap ‘settings’ in the top right.
- Tap ‘account Account’, then tap ‘Deactivate profile’.
- Tap ‘Deactivate Threads profile’, then confirm your choice.
Please note: By deactivating your Threads profile, you hide your profile and content from being visible on Threads. You also have the option to delete individual posts – all without deleting your Instagram account. If you deactivate your Instagram account, your Threads profile will also be deactivated.
As Threads continues to evolve, these steps may change, and new features and settings may be added. Always refer to the most recent guides and the Threads app itself for the latest information.
Please note that the Threads app is not available to everyone and these steps are subject to change as the app updates.
Threads is a robust platform for managing your activities and engaging with the community. By understanding how to view, edit, delete, add and deactivate threads and profiles, you can maximize your Threads experience.
