The newly launched Threads by Meta is a text-based social network similar to Twitter. The platform allows people from different countries from across the globe to share their thoughts, ideas, comment on posts by other users, and more. The app is only available on mobile and can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, for iOS and Android. Unlike Twitter, Threads is not a standalone platform as it is linked with Instagram. But does that also mean that you can operate multiple accounts on the platform, like Instagram does? This article will cover everything you need to know about does Threads allow multiple accounts.
Can You Use Multiple Accounts on Threads?
Yes, you can use multiple accounts on Threads. Instagram users will be able to create individual Threads profiles for each of their usernames. While it is possible to operate multiple Threads accounts, you won't be able to use them at the same time. Unlike Instagram and Twitter where users can easily switch between accounts at the press of a button, Threads does not allow users to be logged into and use multiple accounts simultaneously. For example, if you have personal and business accounts on Threads, you can’t switch from one to the other by the tap of a button. Rather, you will have to log out of one and then log in to the other one to access it.
Social media users who are so used to switching between accounts on social media platforms will surely miss this feature on the Threads app. However, logging in and out of accounts shouldn't be difficult for anyone to do.
Can you switch accounts on Threads?
Yes, you are able to switch between your accounts on Threads, but the process requires you to return to the Threads login page to change profiles each time.
How to Switch Accounts on Threads
In order to switch accounts on Threads, you must have the two Instagram profiles already logged in on the Instagram app. If you have already done that, launch the Threads app, press the profile icon, and open up the Settings tab. Tap Log Out from the options displayed on your screen. You will see a notification asking you to confirm. Tap Log Out again, and you’ll be redirected to the Threads log-in screen.
On the login screen, tap the Switch Accounts button beneath your Instagram account. Then choose the account you wish to sign into. Once you do that, you'll be logged into the account instantly. So, that's all there is to it about switching Threads multiple accounts.
