Meta’s New Twitter Alternative: 5 Things To Know About Threads Before You Sign Up – SlashGear
Threads is a product of Meta’s Instagram team, and currently, new users are required to have an Instagram account to access it. During the sign-up process, users must connect their Instagram accounts, resulting in Threads using their Instagram usernames. Unfortunately, this means that having a unique username on Threads is not possible.
Changing your Threads username can only be done by altering your Instagram username as well. Notably, sign-ups via Facebook are not supported, and users attempting to do so have encountered difficulties. Deleting your Threads account also results in the deletion of the corresponding Instagram account.
However, there are advantages to Threads’ close integration with Instagram. You can effortlessly follow your existing Instagram contacts on Threads. Verified Instagram accounts also carry over their verification badges to Threads. Although the app doesn’t allow changing the username, you can edit your bio to differentiate it from Instagram.
Additionally, you can independently set your profile’s privacy status on Threads, regardless of your Instagram account’s privacy settings. Meta has also confirmed that users who are blocked on Instagram will remain blocked on Threads. Moreover, Threads already supports accessibility features like screen reader support and AI-generated image descriptions due to its integration with Instagram.
