The Meta social network created by and to dethrone Twitter as the preferred text social network by citizens<\/a> (it wasn’t enough to have Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp) is testing a feature ideal for politicians and other people who want to hide their past.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Threads is testing the option to automatically hide your old posts.<\/strong> Instagram’s head, Adam Mosseri, states that the feature is currently only available to a “small number” of users, but it will allow you to choose between manually archiving individual posts or automatically archiving them after a certain time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see an example of how this function would look in Mosseri’s post on Threads below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How will the new option to archive old posts in Threads work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Users with access to the test should be able to manually archive their content by clicking on the three dots in the upper right corner of a post and selecting “Archive now”<\/strong>. This will give users the option to hide certain posts on their profiles, similar to the archive option on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mosseri says that users can make their posts public again at any time.<\/strong> He also adds that this feature will not become the default in Threads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We conducted a survey… and the overwhelming response was not to do it by default, so we are going to test it as an option,” explained Mosseri.<\/p>\n\n\n

Twitter users, now owned and troubled by Elon Musk<\/a>, have long been asking for the ability to archive posts on the platform<\/strong>, and many have turned to third-party services to hide their content. At least Threads could incorporate an archiving option, which would mean that Threads listens to its users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
