Threads now has a better word filter than Instagram

theverge.com Jess Weatherbed 2025-08-24 05:39:00

Threads has taken another step towards decoupling from Instagram by introducing its own word blocking filters. Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced on Thursday that the Hidden Words setting on Threads includes “newly added custom filters to block words, phrases, and emojis in batches, with optional time limits.” A previous version of Hidden Words was tied to Instagram, meaning you could only mute the same words and phrases across both platforms. This change enables users to tailor what they wa

It's up to you to decide. We had an app that had a nice Flutter UI that called Rust binaries. The bindings were generated using flutter_rust_bridge, which is an amazing piece of software. A lot of people have built large and complex apps using this tool. It's crazy how far it can just work, just by running: flutte

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

techcrunch.com Aisha Malik 2025-08-25 17:57:46

Threads, Meta’s competitor to X, now has its own Hidden Words setting that operates separately from Instagram. The feature allows you to filter out posts that contain words, phrases, or emojis you don’t want to see in feeds, search, profiles, and replies. Previously, Hidden Words was tied to Instagram, so the filters that you entered would be applied to content on both platforms. Now, you can create a separate list of Hidden Words on Threads to further personalize the content that you see on th

Borderlands 4 has some clear runway now that Grand Theft Auto VI is coming next year instead of this year.

This can be due to the increased use of electricity for air conditioners, wildfires, severe weather and downed power lines.
