Threads resource
How to Export Your Threads Information
A Threads data export currently begins in the Instagram mobile app's Accounts Center. You select the profile whose Threads information you want, then choose the included data and device-export settings.
The decision that matters
Choose the right export before you start
Threads does not start this workflow from a separate download page in the current guide. The route passes through the Instagram app and Accounts Center, so choosing the correct connected profile is the key step.
