Threads now have a better word filter than Instagram

Threads has taken another step towards the decoupling of Instagram by introducing its own word blocking filters. Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced Thursday The fact that the word parameter hidden on threads includes “newly added personalized filters to block words, sentences and emojis by lots, with optional time limits.”

A previous version of the hidden words was linked to Instagram, which means that you could only do the same thing as the same words and sentences on the two platforms. This change allows users to adapt what they want to filter with their flows, research, profiles and answers on the two services. “The sons consist in promoting an open exchange of perspectives, and doing so, people must be able to shape the experience in an experience where they feel comfortable,” said Mosseri on the sons.

The update also allows users of threads temporarily drowning the words they do not want to block permanently, with a time limit option of 30 days following the number of days before the filter expiration. This could be useful if you want to avoid meeting spoilers for movies, television shows and recently released games, or to see a viral drama of your online communities, without sacrificing your time on social networks.

This time limitation is not available on Instagram’s hidden word settings, but reflects similar filtering options on the X competitors platform, which allows users to undress words for a day, a week or 30 days. Mosseri says that the update is available now, but I do not currently see it on my own thread account, so he can take some time to deploy everyone.
