Meta launched Threads yesterday, and it has quickly gained more than 50 million users in no time. The new Twitter alternative, Threads, is deeply integrated with Instagram and uses your existing account to quickly enter the platform. It also displays a thread badge in your Instagram bio, alerting your followers that you've joined threads. Some users have hidden the Threads badge, but is there a way to show the Threads badge on Instagram? To find out, read our explainer here.

As of now, there is no way to show the Threads badge on Instagram. Once you hide the thread badge, you cannot enable it again. Instagram even warns you that you can't view the badge after you remove it from your Instagram profile.

According to Meta, the Threads badge is temporary, and it lets you let your followers know you've joined its app Threads, the new microblogging platform from Meta. The badge also displays a numeric identifier that represents your unique membership position.

To check if Instagram has added an option to show the Threads badge, I updated Instagram to the latest version (290.0.0.13.176) on my Android phone, but there seems to be no such option. So until Meta adds the option to bring back the Threads badge on Instagram, you'll have to make do with it.
