Friend Requests in Threads

In short, it is not yet possible to accept all friend requests at once. However, you can send invitations automatically to multiple contacts, as we will explain later.

First, it's important to understand why your account may receive multiple friend requests. One reason is that, after X (formerly Twitter) was blocked in Brazil, many people migrated to Threads. During registration, the platform automatically suggests friend invitations to your Instagram friends, since Threads imports these contacts.

Another reason is if you keep your profile private, as requests need to be manually approved. If your profile is public, requests are automatically accepted.

Questions about friend requests

Is it possible to accept all friend requests at once?

Threads currently does not allow you to accept all friend requests at once. Each request must be accepted manually.

How to disable friend request?

Friend requests appear when your profile is set to private, allowing only people approved by you to follow you. If you want to stop receiving these requests, an easy way is to make your profile public. Here's how to do that:
1: Access the profile icon at the bottom of the screen.
2: Tap “Settings” to open the options menu.
3: Go to the “Privacy” section.
4: On this screen, you can change your profile status from private to public. Simply disable the “Private Profile” option so that anyone can follow your profile without having to send you a friend request.

When you make your profile public, friend requests will no longer appear.
