"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."
"Underneath the post, people can see if others have liked and replied to the ghost post, which is indicated by smiley-faced icons. But only posters can see the actual number of likes and replies, and who engaged. After 24 hours, the posts disappear from the timeline but are still available to the original poster from the "archived" section, accessed from the main settings menu."
Threads is adding 'ghost posts,' a disappearing-posts feature that automatically archives user posts after 24 hours. Mobile users create a ghost post by toggling the ghost icon on the compose screen. Ghost posts appear in timelines with a dotted conversation bubble; replies from others go straight to the poster's DMs and do not appear publicly in the timeline. Underneath ghost posts, smiley-faced icons indicate likes and replies, while only the poster can view exact engagement counts and identities. Ghost posts remain accessible to the original poster in an archived section via settings. Message request settings determine whether replies from non-followed accounts reach message requests or are blocked.
