Threads modified a single sentence in its privacy policy footer on June 4, 2026. The previous language 'How to reset my password?' was replaced with 'Other ways to get help Chat with Meta AI support assistant Resolve issues, make changes and get support in real time'. This change expands the support navigation in the privacy policy footer to direct users toward AI-assisted support channels and real-time issue resolution rather than emphasizing password reset as the primary support entry point.
