Version history

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.

Threads reorganized its privacy policy table of contents in an update detected on July 18, 2026. The document replaced the section heading 'How is my information shared?' with 'How do I delete my profile?' and added two new section headings: 'How do I deactivate my profile?' and 'How do I share with third parties?'. The change appears to be a restructuring of the policy's navigation and topic organization rather than a modification to substantive privacy terms.

Threads updated its Supplemental Privacy Policy on July 9, 2026 with minor wording and structural changes. The policy changed the opening question from 'What information does Threads collect?' to 'What information do you collect?', modified the account deletion section heading from 'How do I delete my Threads profile?' to 'Manage my Threads information' and 'Delete my Threads profile', and removed a section titled 'What happens to my public information?'. These changes appear to be organizational and clarification updates rather than substantive shifts in data practices or user rights.

Threads added four new section headers to their privacy policy on July 5, 2026: 'How is my information shared?', 'How do I delete my Threads profile?', 'What happens to my public information?', and 'I have a different question'. The policy also added a requirement stating 'By using this service, you agree to Meta's AI terms' and added a reference to 'Chat with Meta AI support assistant' and related help topics. These changes appear to be organizational additions to the policy structure and new disclosures about AI terms applicability, but the diff does not provide the actual content of these new sections.

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.

Threads updated one sentence in their privacy policy on June 28, 2026, changing 'What information do you collect?' to 'What information does Threads collect?' This is a wording clarification that does not alter what data Threads collects, how it is used, or what rights users have under the policy.

Threads updated its privacy policy footer on June 26, 2026, reorganizing the help and support links. The policy now includes a 'Related Articles' section listing topics like privacy settings, fediverse information, and data export options before the general support links. This change adds navigational structure to the policy footer but does not alter substantive privacy terms or user rights.

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.

Threads updated three section headings and one related label in its Supplemental Privacy Policy on June 18, 2026. The policy changed 'What information is collected?' to 'What information do you collect?', 'How is my data shared?' to 'How is my information shared?', and 'Manage my Threads data' to 'Manage my Threads information'. These are editorial revisions to question phrasing and label language with no substantive change to the underlying privacy practices, data handling procedures, or user rights described in the policy.

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.

Threads updated its privacy policy with three minor changes on June 5, 2026: the main policy heading changed from 'What information is public?' to 'What information is collected?', the navigation menu reordered support options to list 'Manage my Threads data' before 'Delete my Threads profile', and the footer removed references to 'Chat with Meta AI support assistant' and 'Resolve issues, make changes and get support in real time'. These are organizational and presentation changes with no material alteration to privacy rights, data handling, or user obligations.

Threads modified a single sentence in its privacy policy footer on June 4, 2026. The previous language 'How to reset my password?' was replaced with 'Other ways to get help Chat with Meta AI support assistant Resolve issues, make changes and get support in real time'. This change expands the support navigation in the privacy policy footer to direct users toward AI-assisted support channels and real-time issue resolution rather than emphasizing password reset as the primary support entry point.

Threads updated its privacy policy on June 3, 2026 with two minor language modifications. The policy replaced the section heading 'What information is collected?' with 'What information is public?' and changed the reference from 'Manage my Threads data' to 'Manage my privacy settings' in the navigation menu. These are organizational and labeling changes with no apparent modification to underlying data collection, use, or disclosure practices.

Threads removed six sentences from its privacy policy on June 2, 2026, including references to Meta AI support availability, data collection and sharing questions, profile deletion options, and language stating that user interactions with AI would be used to improve AI at Meta. The updated policy no longer explicitly describes these support features, data management pathways, or AI training practices that were previously disclosed.

Threads updated its privacy policy on June 2, 2026 to reorganize navigation elements and introduce new AI-related disclosures. The updated policy reorders support menu items, removes a standalone 'Other ways to get help' section, adds explicit language stating 'Your interactions with AIs will be used to improve AI at Meta', and includes new FAQ section headers on data collection and sharing. The practical change establishes that user interactions with Meta AI assistants available through Threads will be used for AI model improvement at Meta.

Threads updated its privacy policy on May 31, 2026 with three minor structural and navigational changes. The main section heading changed from 'What information is public?' to 'What information is collected?'. A new navigation link titled 'Manage my Threads data' was added before the existing 'Delete my Threads profile' link. The support resources section was reorganized to describe 'Chat with Meta AI support assistant' as a way to 'Resolve issues, make changes and get support in real time' rather than listing it as a standalone option. These changes appear to be navigational and organizational clarifications without substantive modifications to the privacy policy's core provisions.

Threads updated two elements of its Privacy Policy on May 31, 2026. The section header changed from 'What information is collected?' to 'What information is public?', and the policy navigation link changed from 'Manage my Threads data' to 'Manage my privacy settings'. These appear to be organizational and labeling changes to the policy structure rather than substantive modifications to data handling or privacy rights.

Threads updated its privacy policy document structure on May 30, 2026. The heading 'How is my data used?' was changed to 'How is my data shared?', and language describing how to 'Manage my Threads information' was replaced with 'Delete my Threads profile' and 'Manage my Threads data'. The policy also removed a reference to 'Chat with Meta AI support assistant' from the support section. These changes are primarily organizational and do not appear to alter the substantive privacy practices described.

Threads updated its privacy policy footer on May 29, 2026, replacing a reference to 'Report a post or reel' with 'Chat with Meta AI support assistant' and adding 'Other ways to get help' as a new section header. The change establishes a direct link to Meta AI customer support within the policy footer, providing users an additional channel to resolve issues or access assistance while reviewing privacy documentation.

Threads updated its privacy policy on May 29, 2026 with minor wording changes. The section heading changed from 'How is my data shared?' to 'How is my data used?', and the menu option 'Delete my Threads profile' was replaced with 'Manage my Threads information'. The policy also removed a reference to 'Chat with Meta AI support assistant' from the help section. These are organizational and label clarifications with no material change to data practices or user rights.

Threads updated its privacy policy footer on May 28, 2026 by removing 9 sentences and modifying 1 sentence. The removed language included FAQ-style questions about password resets and account information visibility, two instances of 'By using this service, you agree to Meta's AI terms', a description of Meta AI support availability, questions about information collection and data sharing, and a statement that user interactions with AI would be used to improve Meta's AI systems. The updated footer now references 'Other ways to get help' and 'Chat with Meta AI support assistant' with a link to Meta AI terms, replacing the previous FAQ format with a more directive statement about AI-assisted support.

Threads updated its privacy policy on May 25, 2026 to reorganize its structure and add new sections. The policy changed the main heading from 'How is my data used?' to 'How is my data shared?' and added explicit sections on 'What information is collected?' and data sharing practices. The policy also added disclosure that user interactions with AIs will be used to improve AI at Meta, and added language stating users agree to Meta's AI terms by using the service.

Threads updated its privacy policy to narrow the agreement scope and add explicit language about AI training. The prior policy required users to agree to Meta Terms, AI terms, and Privacy Policy collectively. The updated policy states users agree only to Meta's AI terms by using the service, and adds that interactions with AIs will be used to improve AI at Meta. This represents a shift from comprehensive agreement language to AI-specific authorization language.

Threads updated its privacy policy on May 15, 2026 by reorganizing and expanding its structure. The policy added three new section headings: 'How is my data used?', 'How is my information shared?', and 'Manage my Threads information', along with a 'I have a different question' section. This change appears to be a restructuring of existing policy content into clearer categorical sections rather than an introduction of new practices or restrictions.

Threads updated its privacy policy on May 14, 2026 to clarify its relationship to Meta's broader terms and services. The updated language now explicitly states that Threads is part of the Instagram platform and requires users to agree to Meta's Terms, AI terms, and Privacy Policy together, replacing prior language that referenced only AI terms. A sentence stating that user interactions with AIs would be used to improve AI at Meta was removed.

Threads updated language in its privacy policy to shift from describing 'how data is shared' to describing 'how data is used'. The policy also changed references from 'Threads profile' and 'Threads data' to 'Threads information'. These are primarily terminological updates that do not alter the substantive scope or mechanics of data handling practices.

Threads updated its Privacy Policy on April 25, 2026 by restructuring its table of contents and documentation layout. The policy added new section headings including 'How is my data shared?' and user control options such as 'Delete my Threads profile' and 'Manage my Threads data'. The substantive privacy protections and data practices described in the policy remain unchanged; this update reorganizes how those policies are presented and accessed.

Threads added several new interface elements and references to its privacy policy on April 23, 2026. The updated policy now includes links to AI-related support articles, introduces a Meta AI support assistant feature, and adds language stating that users agree to Meta's AI terms and that user interactions with AIs will be used to improve AI at Meta. These additions establish new disclosures about AI use and create new consent requirements tied to the service.

Threads removed eight sentences from its Supplemental Privacy Policy on April 22, 2026, including a section header asking 'How is my data shared?' and language stating 'By using this service, you agree to Meta's AI terms' and 'Your interactions with AIs will be used to improve AI at Meta.' The policy also removed navigation links to privacy settings and profile deletion options, and eliminated references to an AI support assistant and password reset help. These removals reduce the explicit disclosures about AI data usage and simplify the navigational structure of the help document.
