Threads is launching an Activity Status feature that allows users to see when others are online. This activity indicator is intended to facilitate real-time engagement, particularly during live events.
Instagram head Adam Mosseri describes the Activity Status as "a way to help you find others to engage with in real-time," suggesting it could encourage immediate discussions.
Despite its potential benefits, new feedback indicates user concerns about privacy and harassment risks, pointing to a divided reception of the feature.
The feature offers users the ability to turn it off at any time, which adds a layer of user control amid concerns about online presence visibility.
