My partner just created her #Threads account and the account that showed up on top as suggestion to follow was mine. However, I don't have a Threads account.
Basically, anyone who has an Instagram account, #Meta is automatically creating a shadow account for them and also allowing users to follow those shadow accounts. My partner had tonnes of follow requests as soon as she made the account.
So it’s time to delete my old IG if I can remember the log in, got it.
If you used your real info, you can get it deleted by pretending to live in California. I think that Meta’s compliance page is hard to find.
