Blink and you’ll miss it: Meta has just launched ghost posts for Threads, which are Snapchat-esque disappearing posts for the Threads platform.
Meta, the tech giant behind Facebook and several other US-based social networking services, has rolled an all-new feature out to Threads, its premier microblogging platform. Known as ghost posts, this new tool allows users to publish disappearing content on their Threads page, which gets automatically archived after a twenty-four-hour period.
„Here today and gone tomorrow, you can feel confident trying new things and posting spontaneous thoughts. Replies to ghost posts are sent to your messaging inbox, and only you can see who liked and replied. To create a ghost post, just toggle on the ghost icon“, says Meta in a newsroom post.
A new ghost post toggle is available within the main Threads composer interface across both the web and mobile, and uploaded ghost posts appear on users‘ timelines with a dotted bubble surrounding them to denote their transience.
