Are you annoyed with a particular person on the Threads app? Is someone sending random messages to your Threads account? Don’t worry. Like other social media, Threads provides a straightforward option to block a person. Since you are signing up for Threads with an Instagram account, the person you blocked on Instagram will be blocked on Threads automatically. On the other hand, you can also block a person directly on the Threads app.
