  1. You may have seen some apps that claim to be able to show you who has viewed your profile on Threads. It is unlikely these apps work, and it is strongly recommended that you do not use them, as they may endanger your account.
    • Providing your Threads or Instagram log-in information to a third-party app can compromise your account and result in your Threads or Instagram account getting hacked.
    • Using a third-party app to see who has viewed your profile is also against Threads' privacy policy and may result in your account getting banned.
