Threads users may soon have a new way to clean up their timelines through an optional archiving feature. This feature allows users to manually archive individual posts or automatically hide posts after a set period of time. Archiving a post on Threads will hide it from public view, but the original author can still access it. Instagram head Adam Mosseri has expressed his preference for making all posts on Threads ephemeral, automatically archiving them after a month. However, user feedback has led the company to make archiving an optional feature. While popular on Instagram, archiving on Threads could be more controversial given the service’s emphasis on real-time information. Archiving posts could make it harder to revisit the original source of updates, especially for Mosseri’s posts on Threads, where he shares his evolving thoughts on the platform. This new archiving feature aims to provide users with a cleaner timeline while also encouraging more frequent sharing, which is crucial for Threads’ continued growth.
