Link Your Threads Account to Instagram Step by Step

To connect your Threads account to Metricool, it must be linked to Instagram.
If you don’t yet have a Threads account, check Instagram's help on how to create a profile here.

Linking a Threads account to Instagram is straightforward since Threads is designed to work exclusively with Instagram. Follow these steps:

Download the Threads App
Download the Threads app from Google Play or the App Store.

Log In with Your Instagram Account
When you open the app for the first time, it will prompt you to log in with your Instagram account.
Select the Instagram account you want to link. If you have multiple accounts on your device, the available options will be displayed.

Set Up Your Threads Profile
Once logged in, Threads automatically uses the username, profile picture, and basic settings of your Instagram account.
You can customize additional details, such as your bio or cover photo, within Threads.

Sync Followers
During the initial setup, Threads offers the option to automatically follow the same accounts you already follow on Instagram.
Accepting this option ensures that both platforms align with your social connections.

Verify the Link
Open your profile on Threads and confirm that it uses the same information as your Instagram account.

Once the process is complete, your Threads account is ready to connect with Metricool. Check the steps here.

🗒️ Notes

A Threads account is always linked to an Instagram account.
It is not possible to unlink Threads from Instagram without deleting the Threads account.
Deleting your Threads account will not affect your Instagram account, according to recent updates.
If you encounter issues during the process, check your Instagram Settings or visit the Help Center for further assistance.

Verify the Linking

To check if your Threads account is already linked to Instagram, review your profile in Threads.

Within the Threads app, go to your profile. There, you’ll see your username and other details reflecting your Instagram account information, confirming the link between both accounts. For example, clicking on the username will display a message indicating that it is synced with Instagram and any changes must be managed from there.
