You need an Instagram account to create a Threads account. If you do not have an Instagram account, download and install the Instagram app to create an account. Once you have an account, return to the Threads app.
3
Create your Threads profile by importing details from your Instagram account.
4
Set your profile to public or private. A private profile means that only those who follow you can see and interact with your Threads posts. A public profile means that anyone on the Threads app, even if they do not follow you, can see and interact with your Threads posts.
5
Follow the same accounts you follow on Instagram. You can skip this step if you prefer not to follow those accounts on Threads.
