Threads now lets you manage Hidden Words separately from Instagram, set time limits

Threads, Meta’s competitor to X, now has its own Hidden Words settings that operates separately from Instagram.

Now, you can create a separate list of Hidden Words on Threads to further personalize the content that you see on the platform without impacting what you see on Instagram. Threads also announced that you can now set time limits for filters in instances where you don’t want to permanently block certain words, phrases, or emojis. Today’s announcement and the updates to direct messages suggest that Meta may be working to make Threads more of an independent service outside of Instagram.
