Threads is only three days old and, despite a monster launch, users are wanting more features. Here's everything that's been promised.
Published Jul 9th, 2023 12:06PM EDTThreads officially launched on Wednesday, and despite the app only being in existence for a few days at the time of writing, many users are already pining for Instagram to add features to the app.

As users have discovered, if you decide that Threads isn’t for you, the only way that you can delete your Threads account is to also delete your Instagram account. Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri said that this was a result of using Instagram’s tech stack to build Threads, but that the company is looking into a way to be able to delete your Threads account completely separately in the future.
