Impact Summary

Low Neutral for users
Affected users
All users

Threads updated its privacy policy footer on June 16, 2026 to modify how users can access support resources. The previous language referenced 'Report a post or reel' and 'How to reset my password?' as standalone help options. The updated language reorganizes this section to include 'Chat with Meta AI support assistant' and 'Resolve issues, make changes and get support in real time' as the primary support pathway, with the same help topics available beneath. This changes the prominence and order of support access methods in the policy footer.

What this means for you

The updated privacy policy footer reorganizes how users access support and help resources. The policy now directs users to 'Chat with Meta AI support assistant' and 'Resolve issues, make changes and get support in real time' as primary entry points, with existing help topics available beneath. This does not change what support is available, but alters the presentation and suggested primary access method in the footer.
