In a recent update to the Threads app, a companion to Instagram, Meta has introduced the ability to delete a Threads profile while retaining the Instagram account. This change, announced by Instagram Head Adam Mosseri, addresses long-standing user requests for a more flexible profile management system. Previously, eliminating a Threads profile resulted in the loss of the linked Instagram account, which caused frustration among users. Alongside this update, Meta has also made it easier to share Threads posts on Facebook and Instagram, with options for privacy-conscious users to opt out of cross-posting.

Despite initial popularity, Threads saw a decrease in active users due to its limited features at launch. However, Meta has been updating Threads with new functionalities, such as a web version and a Followers tab. According to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Threads now boasts close to 100 million monthly users. This news comes amid other updates from Meta and various trends in the social media sphere.

Additionally, the gaming world anticipates announcements such as the upcoming features for Baldur's Gate 3 and new additions to Xbox Game Pass. Sony teases a significant discount on PS Plus subscriptions for Black Friday, and the PlayStation Portal device is reviewed, highlighting its potential with a few caveats. These stories demonstrate the dynamic nature of the gaming industry, with continuous updates, launches, and promotions engaging the community.
