Meta is enhancing the user experience on Threads by launching two new features aimed at giving users more control over their posts and interactions. These updates are intended to enrich the management of conversations and interactions on the platform.
### Reply Approvals
Earlier this year, Threads introduced a function that enabled users to conceal replies from their profiles and automatically filter out inappropriate or spammy responses. Expanding on this, Threads is now implementing a reply approvals feature. This allows users to assess and authorize replies before they are visible to the public. If a user opts to disregard a reply, it will be transferred to an “Ignored” tab for possible approval later.
Meta portrays this feature as a means for users to curate the dialogue surrounding their posts, ensuring that discussions stay pertinent and focused. Users can activate reply approvals for specific posts, permitting them to manage interactions at their own pace.
### Activity Feed Filters
Alongside reply approvals, Threads is rolling out two additional filters in the Activity tab: Mentions and People You Follow. These filters are designed to assist users in quickly locating and engaging with the replies that are most significant to them, enhancing their overall experience on the platform. The new filters will complement the existing options, which include All, Follows, Conversations, Reposts, and Verified filters.
Meta underscores its commitment to enhancing Threads based on user input, and these new features exemplify that commitment. For further information on these updates, users can consult Meta’s official blog post.
