Look for the menu icon, which is represented by two horizontal lines. Give it a tap, and a menu will pop up.
In the menu, find the option called "Privacy". Tap on it to access the privacy settings..
Inside the privacy settings, you'll see a switch button to enable the private profile. Its labeled as "Private Profile". Simply toggle the switch or button to turn on the private profile setting.
That's it! You've successfully switched your profile from public to private on the Threads app. Now, only the people you approve as followers will be able to see your posts and engage with your content.

By making your profile private, you have more control over who can access your updates. It ensures that your posts are shared only with a select group of trusted followers, giving you a greater sense of privacy and security.

And remember, if you ever want to switch back to a public profile in the future, you can easily do so by revisiting the privacy settings and turning off the private profile setting.
