Threads Expands “Hidden Words” Feature for a Positive Conversation Environment

In a proclamation of recent nature, the esteemed head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, unveiled an expansion of the "Hidden Words" functionality within Threads. Once confined to solely replies, Hidden Words now possess the power to sift through undesirable terms and phrases on the Threads platform, encompassing feeds, searches, profiles, and post replies. Mosseri is intent on cultivating a more favorable conversational atmosphere for the denizens of Threads. Behold, the workings of this new addition.

How to Conceal Words and Phrases in Threads

As one would anticipate, this feature operates akin to the Muted words function on X (formerly known as Twitter). It serves as a shield against spoilers and delicate subjects that one may wish to shield from their feed. This attribute is now active for all Threads users, and to enact a ban on particular words, adhere to these instructions.

  1. Navigate to your profile icon on Threads from the lower navigation bar.
  2. Select the upper left globe or padlock icon to access profile settings.
  3. Locate the Hidden Words option.

Choose the On preference under "Custom words and phrases."
Proceed to click on Manage custom words and phrases.
Input the words you desire to conceal, then click on Add.

Should you wish to sequester more than one word or phrase, employ a comma for separation while adding additional words. When you select Add, the application will aptly segregate them. Each word can be edited or deleted with a mere tap.

The ascent of Threads portends a promising future for those disenchanted with X and its recent transformations. Initially welcomed with great fervor, the allure of Threads waned momentarily, only to witness an influx of users returning to the platform.

Having embarked on the addition of a trending page, Threads has now incorporated hidden words into its domain. Future prospects hint at further features imported from X. Should these advancements serve to elevate the platform, I welcome them wholeheartedly. Which feature do you anticipate on Threads next? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
