Threads could finally soon be rid of its most cumbersome feature!
The social network created by Meta and supposed to compete with X.com (Twitter) was a big flop after a fanfare launch. It must be said that it has several faults that are difficult to swallow. The first, the most obvious for us French and Europeans, is that it is not even available yet on the Old Continent. The second is that you cannot delete your account without deleting your Instagram. But rest assured, this obligation should change soon.
Threads and Instagram finally separable
Meta had a good idea: release a social network like X.com, without the chaotic side of the latter. But apart from this concept, we have the impression that the tech giant did not have a truly finished product to offer. This was felt with the perhaps too-quick launch, which included some disadvantageous features, such as the fact that a person’s Threads and Instagram accounts were necessarily linked, and deleting one resulted in deleting the other. other. This should no longer be the case soon.
This is in fact what the developer Alessandro Paluzzi, a specialist in this type of research, spotted. According to him, Threads is currently working on an update that will allow you to delete your account without having to delete the Instagram pair. A decision to be welcomed. However, there is a downside. You will have to wait 120 days after this deletion to be able to return to Threads.
Too late ?
A strange precision. Did Meta seek a compromise between its desire to keep the user captive and the obligation to give them more freedom to make their social network more attractive? If this is indeed the case, we can wonder if the timing is not bad for this kind of little nicety, knowing that Threads is already clearly a subject of the past for many Internet users.
The very poor recent figures for the platform do not lead us to believe that the public would move en masse towards a network less flexible than X.com, and whose moderation may also appear very (too?) heavy compared to the competitor led by Elon Musk. In short, shouldn’t Meta instead think about doing more, and above all, better?
