Threads' new 'ghost posts' vanish after 24 hours

Threads, the microblogging app by Meta, has introduced a new feature called 'ghost posts' that automatically archives content 24 hours after publication.

The feature is designed to allow users to share temporary content without the permanence of regular posts. According to the company, replies to these ephemeral posts are directed to the user's private messaging inbox. 

The platform also states that only the original poster can see who has liked or replied to a ghost post. Users can create these temporary posts by selecting a ghost icon toggle before publishing. 

The launch follows other recent feature additions to Threads, including text attachments for longer-form content and options to hide spoilers in posts.
