Threads is getting its own Hidden Words feature

Threads is launching the Hidden Words feature for users, hiding offensive words, phrases or emojis.

Meta is bringing some of its existing safety features to Threads, including the Hidden Words tool. The platform — which recently hit more than 150 million users — will now allow you to filter out words, phrases and even emojis, just like you can on Instagram. Threads will have the setting on by default and filter out anything that it deems offensive, along with content that could be irrelevant or uninteresting.
