Threads Introduces Enhanced Quote Controls

The social media platform Threads now allows users to restrict who can quote their posts, aiming to foster a more positive user environment.

Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, announced new quote control features for Threads, enhancing user privacy and control.
Users can now restrict quotes to followers only or disable them entirely, preventing unwanted viral dunks.
The update is part of Threads' broader efforts to improve user safety and the quality of interactions on the platform.
Despite the restrictions, users can still screenshot and share posts, maintaining some level of public discourse.
The feature, tested last month, has officially rolled out to all users as of this weekend.
