Automatically creating a shadow account for everyone on Instagram?

Even allowing people to follow that account?

Sounds like they really wanted to push Threads out the door in a big way.

    it’s true that they have shadow accounts for Instagram accounts cause threads is currently operating under Instagram, I don’t know if that’s factored into their 30 million user count tho

    When you follow one of the shadow accounts it says something like “they’ll respond when they join threads” or something
