Threads Tests Options for Post-Archiving

Threads is currently testing post-archiving. Users have the option to manually archive individual posts or set them to automatically archive after a certain period. Archived posts can be unarchived to make them public again.

Why It Matters: Although Instagram head Adam Mosseri initially proposed automatically archiving all posts after 30 days, which was met with resistance from many users, Threads is moving forward with the feature, now offering it as an optional choice.

Given the frequent archiving of posts on Instagram and numerous stories of users facing consequences due to old posts, archiving offers several benefits. However, it may also pose challenges if important posts providing context for discussions are archived.

Steady Growth: Threads' continuous rollout of new features appears to be yielding results. The platform now boasts over 150 million monthly active users, up from 130 million in February. With new incentive programs for creators, this steady growth should continue.
