Threads, Meta’s competitor to X (formerly Twitter), has upgraded its platform, letting you manage Hidden Words settings in an advanced way, separately from Instagram.
The platform revealed that the feature allows you to filter out posts that contain words, phrases, or emojis you don’t want to see in feeds, searches, profiles, and replies.
Previously, Hidden Words was tied to Instagram, so the filters that you entered would be applied to content on both platforms.

However, now you can create a separate list of Hidden Words on Threads to further personalise the content that you view on the platform without affecting what you see on Instagram.
Moreover, Threads announced that you can now set time limits for filters in instances where you don’t want to permanently block certain words, phrases, or emojis.
You have the option to now set filters to expire within 30 days as a way to “snooze” them until you want to see the related posts in the app again.
As Threads continues to take on X, the social network has been releasing multiple features every month.
The platform is also testing spoiler text and now allows creators to use their Threads profiles to share links and track clicks.
