How to Sign Up for Threads App Without an Instagram Account

Threads is a standalone app from Instagram that allows you to connect with your close friends and family in a more intimate way. It’s designed for quick, informal messaging and sharing of photos and videos.

However, Threads is tightly integrated with Instagram, so you need to have an Instagram account in order to create a Threads account. If you don’t have an Instagram account, you can create one, but there is currently no way to sign up for Threads without an Instagram account.

If you’re looking for a way to connect with your close friends and family without using Instagram, there are a few other options available. You could use a messaging app like WhatsApp or Signal, or you could create a group chat on Facebook Messenger.

However, if you’re already using Instagram and you want to try Threads, you can create an Instagram account for free and then follow the steps below to create a Threads account:

Open the Threads app.
Tap on “Sign Up.“
Enter your Instagram username and password.
Tap on “Sign Up.“
You will be prompted to create a profile for Threads.
Enter your name, bio, and profile picture.
Tap on “Save.”

Once you have created a Threads account, you can start using it to connect with your close friends and family. You can send them messages, share photos and videos, and see their stories.

Why Can’t You Sign Up for Threads Without an Instagram Account?

There are a few reasons why you can’t sign up for Threads without an Instagram account. First, Threads is designed to be a more intimate way to connect with your close friends and family. By requiring users to have an Instagram account, Threads can make sure that only people you know and trust can see your messages and photos.

Second, Threads is tightly integrated with Instagram. This means that you can use your Instagram account to sign in to Threads, and you can also share your Threads stories to your Instagram feed. By requiring users to have an Instagram account, Threads can make it easier for people to connect with each other on both platforms with more like Twitter using experience.

Is There a Way to Use Threads Without an Instagram Account in the Future?

It’s possible that Instagram will eventually allow users to sign up for Threads without an Instagram account. However, there is no guarantee that this will happen, and there is no timeline for when it might happen.

If you’re interested in using Threads, but you don’t have an Instagram account, I recommend creating an Instagram account. It’s a free and easy process, and it will allow you to use Threads to connect with your close friends and family.
