Now, according to Threads, the Hidden Words list will work across the entire app. This means those filtered terms won’t show up in your general feed, search results, profiles, or replies. This was announced by both Instagram boss Adam Mosseri and the official Threads handle via their respective accounts in the app.
Threads continues to develop new ways to customize your experience and testing the resulting features promptly with the community. As stated by Mosseri, Threads is also currently testing options to limit who can quote you and turn off notifications on individual posts.
These features are designed to help ensure Threads remains a pleasant place for conversations, which is definitely welcomed. However, some highly requested features, such as direct messages, are still missing from the platform and holding users back from making Threads their go-to social network. As the company continues to experiment with its algorithm and implementing more creative ways of leveling up the app, there’s little doubt that Threads won’t continue to grow within the social space.
