Threads now has a better word filter than Instagram
Threads has added word blocking filters to its Hidden Words setting. Users can filter words, phrases, and emojis in batches, with optional time limits. The update also lets Threads users temporarily snooze words they don’t want to permanently block.
A previous version of Hidden Words was tied to Instagram, meaning you could only mute the same words and phrases across both platforms. This change enables users to tailor what they want to filter out of their feeds, search, profiles, and replies on both services. “Threads is about fostering an open exchange of perspectives, and to do so people need to be able to shape the experience into one where they feel comfortable expressing themselves,” Mosseri said on Threads.
The update also lets Threads users temporarily snooze words they don’t want to permanently block, with a 30-day time limit option that tracks the number of days left until the filter expires. It could be useful if you want to avoid running into spoilers for newly released movies, TV shows, and games, or seeing viral drama from your online communities, without sacrificing your time on social media.
