Where is your Threads badge?

Since Meta is experiencing vast numbers of sign-ups, you can check how fast you were to sign up. This is done through the new “badge” system, displayed underneath your Instagram handle.

The number has no bearing on anything other than social status, but it’s pretty easy to find once you know where to look.

That’s all there is to it. While it doesn’t really do much other than send visitors to your Threads profile, it’s some information you can laud over your friends.
