Since Elon Musk acquired the Twitter platform in October 2022, the platform has undergone many changes, which prompted many users to try alternatives, such as: the Mastodon platform, which did not see much demand, the Meta before the release of some days it was launched Twitter is better than Twitter, and easier to use than Mastodon and has more than 10 million followers in just 7 hours live.
You may be thinking of trying it, but before creating an account in threads, you should know how to protect your privacy when creating an account in threads, which we explain in this article:
How to create a Threads account:
Meta makes creating a Thread account very easy and relies mostly on linking it to your Instagram account. However, you should know that this process is permanent. Deleting your threads account will also delete your Instagram account.
Therefore, unless you have a large Instagram following, it is recommended to create a separate Instagram account for Thread so that you can safely delete your Thread account later without affecting your Instagram account.
If you do not have an Instagram account, you will need to create one because you cannot use themes without an Instagram account.
To create a topic account:
- Download the Threads app from the App Store or Google Play.
- Click Connect to Instagram.
- Topics will create a personal account using their Instagram account picture, username, and information you added in the Instagram Bio section. However, you can create a personal account by clicking the Personal Account button at the bottom right of the app screen and then clicking Edit to modify any information profile.
- You can upload a new photo, write a different bio, and add a link to your account. However, your themes username cannot be the same as your Instagram username.
To adjust privacy settings in chats:
To adjust privacy settings in topics, follow these steps:
- Go to your personal topics account page.
- Click the Edit Profile button and enable the Private Profile option.
After you enable a private profile, only your followers can read and interact with your posts and see which accounts you follow and who follows you back. With public accounts, anyone can interact with your posts in threads.
By default, users under the age of 16 or 18 in some countries have a private personal account. When it comes to tracking your activity, threads don't ask for permission to use your data, and you can't stop the app from tracking you. That is why it is banned in the European Union. If the changes do not comply with EU standards, this application may never reach those countries.
