How to set up Threads profile with Instagram?

The one and only major requirement to sign up for Threads is having an Instagram account. The app is built by the Meta-owned, media-driven social media platform, after all.

So existing users with an Instagram account are good to go. They only need to download the Threads app from the Google Play Store (Android) or the App Store (iOS).

Here's what you need to do next:

1. Click on the app icon to boot it up
2. The login screen prompts sign-in with an Instagram account. Existing Instagram users will find their profile automatically logged in. In such a case, go ahead and click on the profile username and head to the next step. If users wish to use an alternate profile, click "Switch Accounts" at the bottom to login with another Instagram account
3. After logging in, users will set up their profile. The username will be synced with Instagram. They are free to add a personal Bio, profile picture, and any links they wish to showcase to the public. Alternatively, choose the Import option to have the same details as your Instagram bio and display photo be copied over
4. Next, select whether your Threads profile should be public or private. Everyone on the app can view and interact with your profile if public, but only followers can when private
5. Next, choose whether or not to follow the same users as on Instagram. Those without a Threads profile will show as pending. This is optional
6. Click on the "Join Threads" button on the final screen to have your profile set up. Users are now free to interact with other people on the social media app
