Meta on Monday announced that its Threads social network now offers support for disappearing posts called “ghost posts,” which are Threads posts that will be automatically archived 24-hours after a post is made, so “you can share unfiltered thoughts and fresh takes without the pressure of permanence or polish.”
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 new ghost icon that is available on the composing screen.
Ghost posts appear as a chat bubble with a gray background in the Threads feed, so they stand out compared to regular posts.
Threads recently launched text attachments, which allow up to 10,000 characters for longer thoughts or excerpts from articles, as well as the ability to hide media or text in posts that contain spoilers.
Ghost posts are available now.
