Threads removed six sentences from its privacy policy on June 29, 2026, including navigation text asking 'How is my information shared?' and 'Manage my Threads information', along with language about AI interactions and improvements. Two sentences were also modified. The policy now contains 54 sentences total, down from the previous version. These appear to be structural and navigational removals rather than substantive changes to data practices or user rights.

What this means for you

The updated policy removes structural elements and navigation text from the privacy documentation. The removed sections previously included navigation prompts for 'How is my information shared?' and 'Manage my Threads information', as well as language disclosing that 'Your interactions with AIs will be used to improve AI at Meta' and directing users to agree to Meta's AI terms. The practical significance of these removals depends on whether the underlying practices themselves have changed or whether this is a formatting reorganization of existing content.

Key Clauses Affected

AI interaction disclosure

Removed language stating user interactions with AIs will be used to improve Meta's AI systems.

Privacy navigation sections

Removed FAQ navigation for 'How is my information shared?' and 'Manage my Threads information'.
