I wonder if this is part of the plan to merge messaging on Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. Pull out the final messaging platform that doesn't have its own app and then begin merging Threads, Messenger, and WhatsApp into one. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/25/technology/facebook-instagram-whatsapp-messenger.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/25/technology/facebook-insta... I'm actually happy to install this so I can delete Instagram. I keep Instagram around because some friends only message me through that.

That article says the apps will remain separate, only the backend will be the same. You don't need to separate Threads out of IG to use that unified backend.
