Threads updated its privacy policy on May 31, 2026 with three minor structural and navigational changes. The main section heading changed from 'What information is public?' to 'What information is collected?'. A new navigation link titled 'Manage my Threads data' was added before the existing 'Delete my Threads profile' link. The support resources section was reorganized to describe 'Chat with Meta AI support assistant' as a way to 'Resolve issues, make changes and get support in real time' rather than listing it as a standalone option. These changes appear to be navigational and organizational clarifications without substantive modifications to the privacy policy's core provisions.

The updated privacy policy includes minor navigational and organizational changes. A new link titled 'Manage my Threads data' was added to the help center navigation, providing access to data management controls alongside the existing 'Delete my Threads profile' option. The policy's main section heading was revised from 'What information is public?' to 'What information is collected?', and support resources were reorganized to describe AI support as a real-time issue resolution tool. These changes do not appear to modify substantive privacy rights or data collection practices.
