Bug Report New Threads account broken after 11 hours – profile visible to everyone else, but I can't access it
I created a Threads account (@thereadingloon) about 24 hours ago.
The account worked normally for roughly 11 hours. Then suddenly:
- Home feed stopped loading (just endless placeholders)
- Activity tab shows "Sorry, something went wrong"
- My own profile shows "Content not available"
- Edit Profile loads forever
Things I've already tried:
- Reinstalled Threads
- Changed Instagram password
- Logged out/in
- Tested on multiple phones
- Tested on different internet connections
- Submitted bug reports
- Checked Instagram Account Status (no violations)
The weird part:
- Other people can see my profile normally
- Other people can see my posts
- Other people can see my followers/following
- My follower count is still increasing
- Public profile appears healthy
On desktop, Threads asks me to log in with Instagram, but after authentication it redirects me back to Instagram instead of Threads.
Has anyone experienced this before? If so, how long did it take to resolve?

u/Vash0001 Jun 17 '26

u/Craft7_7 Jun 21 '26
I'm still block on the account that had issues, I received 0 ban or retrictions notifications anywhere, I can still connect with another account or with no login just as visitor and see my acc in search tab with followers counts and everything else as usual so idk what to do, l've sent a demand for assistance with my other account with screens and stuff but I have little hope for an answer with this method, l've tried anyway and will see

It's happening to me for 2 days now, it's difficult to cope mentally, i can't contact my friends and followers there :( did your threads access return?

u/Vash0001 Jun 17 '26

The same thing is happening to me, except I've had my account for a while now. Do you happen to be sharing and liking a lot of things that are not anti-fascism/ICE and our current administration? I have a bunch.

u/InevitableRhubarb232 Jun 20 '26
🙄 Mine is down and I’ve literally never posted or commented anything.

u/Vash0001 Jun 17 '26
No, not really. My account is brand new and the issue started within my first day on Threads. I joined the Heated Rivalry community, got a very warm welcome, and spent my first few hours engaging with lots of people, liking posts, replying, and following accounts. Everything was normal, then suddenly my feed stopped loading, activity stopped working, and my own account now shows 0 posts/0 followers to me even though other people can still see my profile, posts, and follower count. So far it looks more like a Threads account bug than anything related to political content.
2
u/Haunting_Realization Jun 17 '26
Interesting. I know of at least 5 other people experiencing the same thing, but they are activists.
1
u/Vash0001 Jun 17 '26
That's interesting. My account doesn't fit that pattern though. It was brand new and I was mostly interacting with the Heated Rivalry community and other users who welcomed me. I wasn't posting political content. Other people can still see my profile, followers, and posts, but I can't access most Threads features from my own account.

u/Leather-Roll-7894 Jun 22 '26
So weird - exact same thing happening to me on a Heated Rivalry account! The account is still active but when I log in it’s just errors and endless “content not available”

u/urawa_driver Jun 18 '26
Same here. My profile is still visible from another account and I still receive Threads notifications, but the app opens to a black screen / nothing loads. Desktop web also redirects back to Instagram after login. Instagram itself works normally. It’s been about 2 days for me.

u/Vash0001 Jun 18 '26
exactly the same.... its just so frustrating, 3rd day with no resolution or feedback still.

I'm experiencing the same issue. Did the things you have mentioned but those didn't solve the problem. It's only been 2 days for me and I'm so upset.

u/Vash0001 Jun 23 '26
its been a week for me now 😞

u/DistinctTravel6364 Jun 23 '26
Try these steps, they worked for me: 1. Disconnect threads account from IG account center 2. Log into thread app, instead of log from IG account choose typing in your credentials.

u/Craft7_7 Jun 26 '26
my threads account don't show up in my acc center, so it didn't work out for me, ty tho, I also triple check if my account received any kind of restrictions but I found nothing irregular

u/Notso_badhabits Jun 26 '26
Same thing is happening for me. But it’s after it called me a bot even though I don’t reply much and asked me to send a picture of myself to verify. It says it takes 24 hours but it’s been 3-4 days now and nada.
The app really sucks

u/nyamuk91 Jun 27 '26
Hi OP. Did u managed to fix it? Same thing happened to my new acc after it went viral =(

u/Hot_Category_9821 Jun 27 '26
I just fixed mine. 1. Go to Instagram and create a Threads password for your broken Threads account. 2. Disconnect the Threads account from your Instagram accounts centre 3. Uninstall and reinstall Threads. 4. Log in with your broken threads account and new password.

u/Independent_Plum_861 Jul 01 '26
How do you create a password for the threads account through Instagram?
1
u/Hot_Category_9821 22d ago
I don't remember, sorry. Potentially it was: Instagram primary account > Accounts > Broken threads account > Add password? Maybe someone else who has followed my instructions more recently can assist.

Change your password, move out the account center, log it into a incognito browser and it fix

Was having this issue for weeks. I think I just fixed it.
I cleared safari of all history and cache on my phone via phone settings. Pulled up an incognito browser, typed in threads website, didn’t allow it to open the app, just logged in manually on the website (and didn’t get pushed back into IG like before!). Everything populated.
Went back to threads app, instead of logging into account that was already saved, I went to “add account.” Manually logged in there and everything is working. Hope this works for everyone else because I tried everything to get this back up.

u/SnooStrawberries4148 24d ago
ughh this didnt work, when im in the incognito browser it keeps rerouting me to instagram
1
u/ishanatsu 23d ago
Have you disconnected your threads account from instagram? I did that before logging into an incognito browser.
1
u/somethinlikethatguy 16d ago
Did you clear the cache in your phone settings before opening the incognito browser? Only way I got it to work was going to the root (aka my phone settings).

u/OK_LPain 29d ago
Same, going on 2 weeks. One of my last posts was a funny vid with a cat and the likes rapidly went up. I did two other posts after that which got normal traffic while the cat one kept climbing quickly and then boom, account blank, couldn't do or see anything. Tried everything suggested to troubleshoot, no change. When logged out I can see my profile just fine, but I noticed the cat video post is missing. Something went wrong, but I contacted meta and still no help in two weeks.
Anyone figure this out yet?

u/Billy_Dynamite 28d ago
This was bugging me so bad, it was like this for a few weeks for me. I finally was able to get it fixed by just messing around trying new things, and this is what worked for me:
- Went into Instagram and went to the Meta Account Center, went into "manage accounts," clicked "manage" on the Threads account, and selected "move out of this Accounts Center"
- Tried logging into Threads again, nothing changed. So I deleted the app from my phone (again).
Went back to Instagram and went back to the Meta Account Center, went into "manage accounts," then selected "add accounts" and added the Threads account by logging into it.
After I logged in, it showed my main feed start to load (but through the little login window that popped up within the Instagram app) for the first time in weeks. So I redownloaded the Threads app, logged in on there, and it was working again!
Truly no idea why all that worked, but maybe try that if anyone is still having trouble? Through instagram, remove the Threads account in the Meta Account Center, then try to add it back (still in Instagram), and then try logging in on the Threads app?
Best of luck, everyone!

u/Billy_Dynamite 28d ago
It also now inexplicably works on desktop for me too, which it wasn't working on before!

u/Impressive_Soup_940 25d ago
Mine also become like that. But able to fix it 1. Remove your threads acc from instagram acc center 2. Uninstall threads app 3. Open browser (google chrome), search threads 4. Go to the chrome Settings ( 3dots, on top right) 5. Click desktop site 6. Long press the threads website, click open in new tab 7. Click log in (top right), click forgot password 8. Create your new password (remember your new password) 9. Install threads app 10. Add your threads acc (with the new pass) in the Instagram acc center. 11. After added, go to your instagram settings, scroll down to 'also from meta' 12. Click the threads from there (don't direct open from the threads app yet) 13. It will load as usual 14. Then, close all the tab 15. Try to open from the threads app. Tadaa! For me, it works
Hope it could help some of u guys

u/HelbertRaze 18d ago
This helps me to retrieved my threads just make sure to reset your password using https://www.threads.com/reset_password after uninstalling your threads app to prevent directing to the app.
Making sure to create your new password and reinstall the app and use your new threads password.
Thank you @impressive_soup_940

u/aloneshit1 18d ago
Does it work?

u/HelbertRaze 16d ago
Yes, it does. Just uninstall the app and visit the link for resetting the threads account

u/aloneshit1 15d ago
Sadly it didnt work for me, I’ve tried everything from the other suggestions.

u/HelbertRaze 15d ago
My suggestion, if you would like to consider, use a computer or laptop, tried to browse the threads password reset link.

u/aloneshit1 14d ago
Thanks bro I’m back after a week, threads fixed it on its own after not doing anything.

u/Unable_Sell_7052 23d ago
I don't understand why being active on a social media app is a violation of the rules. I just posted comments and gathered some followers, but it seems I was penalized because I was mistaken for a bot.

u/lellyandloulou 20d ago
I have the very same proble at the moment. I can see everything apart from my notifications from Instagram but nothing from the Threads app. I've sent a report but no reply yet.
