Hello, my lovely followers! Today I have some exciting news to share with you. Threads is testing a new feature that will allow you to automatically hide your old posts. Instagram head Adam Mosseri has announced that this feature is currently only available to a small number of users, but it will give you the option to manually archive individual posts or have them automatically archived after a certain period of time.
You can get a sneak peek of how this feature might work by checking out Mosseri’s post on Threads. Those lucky users who have access to the test will be able to hide their content by selecting “Archive now” from the three dots in the top-right corner of a post. This will give you the ability to hide specific posts on your profile, similar to the archive option on Instagram. Mosseri reassures users that they can always make their posts public again whenever they want.
Users on X, formerly known as Twitter, have been asking for an archiving feature for a while now, and many have resorted to using third-party services to hide their content. With Threads potentially implementing an archiving option, this could be a game-changer for those looking to clean up their profiles.
And don’t worry, my friends – Mosseri has confirmed that this archiving feature won’t become the default on Threads. After running a poll and receiving feedback against making it the default setting, the team has decided to keep it as an optional feature for now. So, rest assured that you’ll still have control over your posts and how they are displayed.
