Threads Activity Not Loading? What to Try

The Activity tab (the heart icon) shows your follows, replies, mentions, quotes and likes. If it's stuck loading, blank, or missing something you know happened, there are two possible problems: a loading glitch, or a setting quietly filtering things out. Here's how to tell which one you have and fix it.

Which problem?

Which Activity problem do you have?

⏳It won't load at all

Endless spinner, a blank tab, or an error like "Couldn't load activity". This is a loading problem - usually your app, connection or Threads itself.

🔍It loads, but something's missing

A reply, like, follow or mention you know happened isn't there. This is usually a filter or setting - not a bug.

Activity tab won't load? Try these in order

Tick each one as you go and check the Activity tab after every step.

Missing activity

Activity loads, but something's missing?

Choose what you expected to see. We'll list the most likely reasons, with where to check each one.

The Activity tab

How the Activity tab works

Tap the heart icon in the app, or the heart in the sidebar on threads.com. Filters across the top narrow what you see - labels vary by app version.

All

Everything: follows, replies, mentions, quotes, reposts and likes.

Follows

New followers and accepted requests.

Replies

Replies to your posts and conversations you're in.

Mentions

Posts and replies that @mention you.

Quotes

Posts that quote yours.

Reposts

Who reposted your posts.

Verified

Activity from verified profiles only - easy to leave on by accident.

Looking for views, reach and follower stats? Those live in Insights, not Activity. See Threads analytics.

Settings that hide activity

6 settings that can hide activity on purpose

These are working as intended - but they're easy to forget you turned on.

🙈Hidden words

Filters replies and posts containing words you choose, and possibly offensive content.

✅Reply approvals

You review replies before they appear (added October 2025).

@Mentions limits

Limits who can mention you: everyone, profiles you follow, or no one.

⚠️Restrict

Limits a profile's interactions without blocking them.

🔇Mute

Hides a profile's posts and activity from you.

⛔Block

Removes their activity and stops them interacting with you.

All of these live in Threads privacy settings. Turning off push notifications doesn't hide anything from the Activity tab - see notification settings.

FAQ

Threads Activity not loading FAQ

Why is my Threads Activity not loading?
Usually because of a weak connection, an outdated app, stuck app data or a temporary Threads problem. Pull down to refresh, switch networks, update the app and restart it. If it still won't load, clear the cache or reinstall.
Why can't I see a reply in my Activity?
The reply may be filtered by Hidden words, waiting in reply approvals, from someone you restricted or blocked, or deleted by its author. Check the hidden replies on your post and your privacy settings.
Why don't I see who liked my post?
Likes are grouped into one notification (for example "and 12 others"). Open the post and tap the like count to see everyone. If someone unliked it, they won't appear.
Why is my Activity tab empty?
Check you haven't selected a filter (like Verified or Mentions) and that you're on the right profile if you use more than one. If it's still empty, it's a loading problem - follow the fixes on this page.
Does pausing notifications affect the Activity tab?
No. Pausing or turning off push notifications only stops alerts on your phone. Everything still appears in Activity.
Can I see my Activity on threads.com?
Yes. Click the heart icon in the sidebar. If Activity works on the web but not in the app, the problem is your app - clear its cache or reinstall it.
