The brand-new feature of the Instagram app is the display of the Threads badge on your Instagram account. It is displayed on your profile when you have an active thread or conversation.
But it may happen that you have accidentally hidden the Threads badge so now you can not see it on your Instagram account.
This article will discuss if you can hide or unhide the Threads badge from your Instagram Profile.

Why Would You Want To Display The Threads Badge?
The Threads badge is displayed on your Instagram profile page under the name of your account which makes it easy for your followers to find you in the Threads app.
It is also a very convenient option for you to view your Threads profile by clicking on this badge.
If you have joined Threads but do not see any badge under the name of your Instagram account then you may have accidentally removed it.
Is It Possible To Unhide The Threads Badge From Your Instagram Profile?
It is not possible to unhide the Threads badge on your Instagram account.
The Threads badge is a temporary feature displayed on your Instagram account to show your followers that you are active on the Threads app.
It is also an easy way to switch to the Threads app from Instagram by tapping on the badge.

Things To Remember About Thread Badge
The Threads badge is a temporary feature and is probably introduced as a marketing technique by Instagram to direct users to the new Threads app.
It also has no technical benefits to your Instagram or Threads profile and is merely a way to direct it to your profile on the Threads app.
The Threads badge automatically appears on your Instagram account when you join the Threads app. You can remove it by tapping on the badge and following the instructions as prompted.
However, if you opt to remove the badge from your profile you will not be able to unhide it on your Instagram account.
