Threads removed a section of navigational links from its privacy policy footer on June 25, 2026. The revised policy no longer displays the repeated link cluster including 'Related Articles', 'About Threads Privacy and visibility on Threads', 'Your Threads settings', 'Threads Policies and Terms', 'Review and export your Threads information', and 'Threads and the fediverse'. The footer now contains only 'Other ways to get help', support options, and basic company links, reducing the number of privacy-related navigation references available on the policy page.
This change removes navigational shortcuts from the privacy policy page itself. The actual privacy settings, data export tools, and related policy documents remain available through the main Threads interface and settings menus; this change only affects how users navigate to those features from the privacy policy page footer. The underlying privacy rights, data collection practices, and user controls described in the policy itself are unaffected.
This change affects only the navigation structure of the privacy policy page footer, not the substance of privacy practices or user rights. Removing direct links to privacy settings and related articles may make those resources slightly less discoverable from the policy page itself, but the resources remain accessible through standard platform navigation.
