JAKARTA - Instagram President Adam Mosseri revealed the latest update to the Hidden Words settings in Threads. This update presents a new custom filter that allows Threads users around the world to block word, phrase, and emoji at once in large.
Threads was originally launched in 2023 as a kind of extension of Instagram. However, in recent years, the platform has grown into a standalone app with new features. Meta recently updated the word filter feature in Threads, which further reinforces the independence between the two social media applications.
Adam Mosseri announced the latest update to the Hidden Words settings in Threads. In a statement, Mosseri said that now Threads has a separate Hidden Words setting from Instagram. This feature adds a new custom filter to block words, phrases and emojis at once, with specific time limit options.
Threads now has its own Hidden Words settings, separate from Instagram. Including a new custom filter that allows batch words, phrases and emoji blocking, with the time limit option. Threads aim to create space for open perspective exchanges, and for that people need to be able to form experiences that make them comfortable expressing themselves. This is an additional idea to support those goals, said Adam Mosseri.

This Meta decision further confirms that Threads actually stands alone from Instagram. Previously, the Hidden Words feature was connected to Instagram, so users could only mute the same words and phrases on both platforms. Now, that's changing.
Mosseri's remarks about Threads that should create a comfortable experience for users can be interpreted as a signal that Meta will continue to develop Threads independence features in the future.
Although Mosseri says this update is already available to all users, some Threads users have not felt this latest word filter feature. However, there's no need to worry because the feature will be rolled out thoroughly in the near future.
One of the interesting additional features of this update is the time limit option. For example, when the new season of the Squid Game series is released and you haven't had time to watch it yet, you can block certain words for 30 days to avoid spoilers. This feature also features the remaining number of days for the blocking.
