Threads is testing a new feature that will allow users to automatically archive posts after a certain period of time. The new feature was confirmed by Instagram head Adam Mosseri, who also heads the X (formerly known as Twitter) style platform. He highlighted that users will have the option to auto-archive posts as well as manually hide them from their profile. Additionally, the company also plans to allow users to reverse the effect and return posts to their timeline.
According to one thread Post By Mosseri, the company is testing the option to allow users to archive posts. Currently, this feature is only available to a small number of users, and is probably still under development. Although the Instagram chief has not given any timeline for the release of the feature, it could be released in the next two weeks, which is how long it usually takes after an official announcement.
Mosseri also shared some screenshots detailing the feature. Based on images, the feature can be accessed by tapping on the three-dot menu next to each post made by the user. When you tap on it, you will see a Archive Now Option. There is also an option to automatically archive all posts after a set period of time, but users will have to activate it separately. At the moment, it is unclear whether users will be able to choose the period after which posts will be archived or whether they will only be able to choose from the options offered by the platform.
If a user wants a post reverted, they will be able to unarchive a post and make it public again. Mosseri highlighted that they ran a poll some time ago and based on the feedback, the feature will not be on by default and will only be activated if users activate it themselves. It is worth noting that this feature is similar to the archive feature of Instagram.
Threads developers have been busy recently testing and rolling out new features. According to a report, the platform is also testing a feature to show search results in real-time. Some users have shared screenshots where two different options – Top and Recent – can be seen when searching for a topic.
