Meta’s X competitor, Threads, is introducing a new “disappearing posts” feature that will allow the app’s over 400 million monthly users to share their thoughts and engage in conversations that are automatically archived after 24 hours.

The option, dubbed “ghost posts,” launches on Monday for Threads users worldwide.

Users will now be able to create a ghost post on mobile devices by toggling on the new “ghost” icon on the app’s compose screen. When the post is published, it appears in others’ timelines with a dotted conversation bubble around it to differentiate the post from other content.

Other users on both desktop and mobile devices can reply to the post, but these responses are sent directly to the poster’s DMs (direct messages); these replies don’t appear in the timeline.
