We’ve all heard the claims: X becoming a right-wing echo chamber, Bluesky a liberal enclave. However, a peculiar glitch on Threads has turned these musings into a bizarre reality, where everyone’s echoing the same phrase like a broken record.
This bug, affecting some Threads users on both desktop and mobile, results in a single post being endlessly duplicated across feeds, as if every user is chiming in with the same words.
One catchy post, “Siri, unsubscribe me from 2025,” crafted by Threads user and social media expert Alexa Heinrich, became the inadvertent mantra seen repeatedly on her feed. Suddenly, it looked like everyone was pleading with Apple’s AI to rescue them from a relentless deluge of news.
Lately, Meta’s apps have stumbled a few times, but this Threads glitch leans more toward quirky than concerning. In contrast, last week saw some users inadvertently share their private chats with Meta AI on public feeds, exposing sensitive details like medical and legal information.
The root cause of this amusing bug remains unclear, but Meta Communications Director Andy Stone addressed the situation when app researcher Jane Manchun Wong highlighted it.
“Whoops, well that clearly shouldn’t have happened! We’re working on getting it fixed now,” Stone remarked.
And in a playful twist, Wong echoed back the exact words: “Whoops, well that clearly shouldn’t have happened! We’re working on getting it fixed now.”
