Threads is experimenting with disappearing posts
Threads, Meta’s text-based social media platform, is experimenting with a new feature that allows users to set a 24-hour expiration timer on their posts. This means that after 24 hours, the post and all its replies will automatically disappear, similar to how Stories work on other platforms.
This feature was first spotted by developer Alessandro Paluzzi earlier this summer and has now been confirmed by a Threads spokesperson to be in testing among a select group of users. The concept of disappearing posts is reminiscent of Twitter’s Fleets, which didn’t gain much traction before being discontinued. However, Threads’ implementation could offer a convenient solution for users who frequently delete their posts.
