Automatically creating a shadow account for everyone on Instagram?

Even allowing people to follow that account?

Sounds like they really wanted to push Threads out the door in a big way.

    This seemed obvious the moment they said 10m accounts on launch. People aren’t that proactive

      It seems obvious because they literally said that’s what they’re doing. They’re not trying to hide it.

      If you have an Instagram account, it literally takes a single click to sign up for Threads. Your Instagram account is the same as your Threads account.

      It’s like how your Gmail account is the same as your Google Drive account.
