Threads updated its Supplemental Privacy Policy navigation in an update detected on July 30, 2026. The policy replaced four help center navigation links with different topic headings: 'How do I deactivate my profile?' was changed to 'How do I create a post?', 'How do I delete my profile?' to 'How do I edit profile?', 'How do I manage my privacy?' to 'How do I reply to a thread?', and 'How do I share with third parties?' to 'How do I deactivate profile?'. This appears to be a reorganization of the help center navigation structure rather than a substantive change to privacy terms or data handling practices.
