Threads updated its Supplemental Privacy Policy in an update detected on August 8, 2026, restructuring the table of contents and FAQ section headers. The prior navigation included specific headings such as 'How do I manage my Threads information?', 'How do I share content with Third Party Services?', and 'How do I contact Threads support?'. The updated version replaced these with alternative phrasings: 'How do I delete profile?', 'How do I manage information?', and 'How do I share with third parties?'. These changes appear to be organizational and terminological rather than substantive modifications to the underlying privacy protections or disclosures.
