Pretty sure you use an Instagram account to login to Threads, so that makes sense.
By that logic you'd have to delete your Google account if you want to delete any account for which you have used Google to login.
...do you not? To delete the data I mean, not just to make it appear deleted to everyone without access to the Google/Meta user database.
If you want to delete something that is part of your Google account, then yes. Like your Gmail address. But not if you want to delete your account in an entirely different service, that only uses Google for the login. I guess the problem is, that Threads is perceived (and maybe also marketed) as an independent service while it's apparently just part of your Instagram account.
Might depend on who you talk to. Everyone I spoke to about it was under the same understanding that it's integrated deeply with your Instagram account.
I spun up my old burner Instagram account to check the platform out. They tell you that you can only change things like your name from Instagram, the app let's you import all other profile info from Instagram, and when you login for the first time it shows you the thread profiles of everyone you follow on Instagram and gives you a button to add them all.
It's not just an Auth method, it's the same account with the ability to change a few things between apps. Plenty of reasons to hate Threads, but this ain't it.
Ah, I see. Totally makes sense then, yeah. Haven't had the chance to have a closer look at Threads since it's not out yet in the EU.
