Threads adds vanishing 'ghost posts' on a timer for those one-off hot takes

Meta rolls out "ghost post" on Threads, an option that users can choose that makes a post disappear after a certain amount of time.

What you need to know

• Meta announced that it's rolling out "ghost posts" on Threads, aka disappearing posts, which disappear after 24 hours.
• Users making new posts should notice a toggleable option (it looks like a smiley face) that makes a ghost post, which shows its timer.
• All replies to a ghost post are sent to the creator's DMs, and Meta says this has launched in Threads today (Oct 27), so keep a look out.
