Meta currently enables users to authenticate a link to their Threads profile on social media platforms such as Mastodon.

By means of this verification, users can establish the authenticity of their linked Threads profile on other platforms. It's important to note that this verification process does not entail the allocation of a blue checkmark to the Threads profile.
