Overview

• Threads now has its own Hidden Words feature independent from Instagram, letting users manage filters directly within the app.
• Users can mute specific words, phrases or emojis across feeds, search results, profiles and replies with a dedicated list.
• The new snooze option automatically expires filters after 30 days to prevent permanent content blocks.
• Filter controls include choices to hide posts from anyone or only from accounts the user does not follow.
• This update follows the launch of separate direct messages and reflects Meta’s drive to position Threads as a standalone platform.
