Meta
is
adding
an
“activity
status”
to
Threads
so
that
you
can
see
who’s
actively
online
as
you’re
scrolling
your
feed.
In
a
post,
Threads
boss
Adam
Mosseri
pitches
it
as
a
“way
to
help
you
find
others
to
engage
with
in
real-time.”
The
activity
status
will
show
up
next
to
your
profile
picture
in
the
feed
and
on
your
profile,
based
on
screenshots
Mosseri
shared.

Fortunately,
if
you
don’t
want
people
to
know
when
you’re
online,
you
don’t
have
to
share
that.
“Only
people
who
have
activity
status
turned
on
will
be
able
to
see
when
you’re
online,
and
you
can
turn
this
off
within
your
settings
at
any
time,”
Mosseri
says.
I
can’t
currently
find
how
to
turn
on
the
feature.
It
might
be
user
error,
but
I’m
guessing
it
just
hasn’t
rolled
out
to
me
yet.
Even
when
I
get
it,
I’ll
probably
be
keeping
it
off.
