You can also choose to automatically hide replies and posts on Threads that don’t go against Instagram’s Community Guidelines, but may be inappropriate, disrespectful, or offensive (example: racial slurs, curse words or scams) by using Hidden Words settings. These settings include:
- Custom words: You can add words, phrases, numbers and emojis that you do not want to see on Threads to a hidden words list. Posts on Threads that include items on your list will be filtered out of feed and will be covered in search results and on others’ profiles. Replies to your posts will be hidden under the Hidden replies cover at the bottom of your post. This setting is off by default, but you can change it and edit the list at any time. Note: your list of custom words and phrases is the same for Instagram and Threads.
- Unwanted replies: Replies to your post that contain common words, phrases or emojis that may be offensive, misleading or spam will be automatically hidden. Hidden replies in your threads are moved to a covered section at the bottom of your thread. Others can still view these replies. This setting is on by default, but you can change it any time.
