What if your profile is disabled?

If Threads disabled your profile, you'll see a message when you try to log in. To ask for a review, open the app, enter your username and password, and follow the on-screen steps.

  • No disabled message usually means a login problem instead
  • A profile deleted by you, or by someone with your password, can't be restored
  • You can make a new profile with the same email address, but you may not get the same username

Why can't you find Account Status or a review option?

  • You're looking in the wrong menu. In the app it's under Menu; on threads.com it's under Settings
  • There's no review button. Some types of content can't be reviewed
  • You've waited weeks. Meta says reviews can take up to 90 days
  • Your post is still up but reach dropped. Check What can't be recommended
  • Posts you didn't write were removed. Your password may be compromised, so secure your account first
