Switch your Threads profile to public or private
Note: If you’re under 16, when you create a Threads profile, your profile will be set to Private by default. You can update your profile privacy setting by following the instructions below.
You can always change your profile privacy setting. Your profile privacy setting determines who can see and interact with your posts. Your profile information, including your name, profile photo, username, and bio, are always public.

Note that if you’ve turned on sharing to the fediverse and switch your profile to private, we’ll turn off sharing to the fediverse from your Threads profile and will request that other servers on the fediverse delete your Threads profile and content from their servers. We cannot guarantee that they will delete your information, and it may remain publicly visible despite your decision to make your Threads profile private. If you decide to switch your Threads profile back to public, you’ll need to wait 30 days from when your profile was made private to turn on sharing again to the fediverse.
You can also manage how public content you post on Threads is suggested by Meta on other Meta Products.
