Meta Platforms Inc. is working on a new privacy setting that will let users opt out of having their Threads posts cross-posted to Facebook and Instagram.<\/p>\n
Developer Alessandro Paluzzi spotted the new setting and shared his findings<\/a><\/strong> on Twitter (now X).<\/p>\n “Threads is working on ‘suggesting posts on other apps’ privacy setting,” said Paluzzi, who also shared screenshots of the new settings.<\/p>\n The discovery comes just over a week after the company acknowledged that it was pushing Threads posts to feeds on Facebook and Instagram<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n In response to a post from a Threads user who asked how they could prevent this from happening, Threads confirmed that users couldn’t opt out of the cross-posting but said it was actively listening to user feedback.<\/p>\n Threads had an impressive launch, amassing over 100 million signups within four days, and it had yet to launch in Europe, one of its most significant markets.<\/p>\n However, it should be noted that Threads lets users sign up with their Instagram accounts, making getting started on the platform easier than others.<\/p>\n Despite the impressive launch and easy signup processes, daily active users on the Threads Android app dropped from 49.3 million in July 2023 to 10.3 million in August.<\/p>\n The US was among the highest in engagement following Threads’ launch, but users had dropped from 2.3 million to 576,000 over the same period.<\/p>\n Threads will let users opt out of having their posts pushed to other Meta Platforms apps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341076,"featured_media":499255,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49317],"tags":[161,10424,73842,60669],"class_list":["post-513687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-it-services","tag-facebook","tag-instagram","tag-meta-platforms","tag-threads"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513687"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341076"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=513687"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513687\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":513777,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513687\/revisions\/513777"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=513687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=513687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=513687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
