Threads app's 'Follow all' Instagram friends option skipped on sign up? Try this workaround

Threads is the newly launched platform by Meta, similar to Twitter, that allows you to express yourself with words, images, and videos, you know, just like Twitter.

However, some early adopters are reporting various kinds of issues with the app such as missing dark mode, crashing problem when uploading images, no sound on uploaded videos, and more.

Having said that, during the sign-up process, Threads app shows an option to follow all Instagram accounts that you already follow with one click.

Unfortunately, many users have unintentionally or intentionally skipped this step, leaving them without the ability to follow their Instagram friends on Threads.

when i got the app first i got a prompt asking if I wanted to follow all friends from Instagram and I accidentally clicked away. Is there a way to get back that prompt or just do the same action elsewhere in the app? (Source)

When i joined threads, I made it so that I have to follow everyone individually. I regret that and I want to change it so that I follow everyone that I follow on instagram. How do i do that? (Source)

Thankfully, there is a simple workaround to regain the option to follow all your Instagram friends in bulk. Here’s where you will find ‘Follow all’ option on Threads:

• Open the Threads app and navigate to your profile.
• Look for the ‘Followers‘ section within your profile and tap on it.
• Within the ‘Followers’ section, go to ‘Following‘ tab.
• Now, you will see a button or an option that says ‘See All‘ – tap on it.
• You’ll now see ‘Follow all‘ option.

If you’ve also skipped ‘Follow all’ option on Threads, then the above-mentioned workaround should help you get it back. And you’ll be able to follow all your Instagram friends on Threads with one click.

That said, we will update this article accordingly as and when we come across anything noteworthy.
