Threads’ New Features Let You Approve Replies and Easily Sort Them
Threads, which is Meta’s answer to X (formerly Twitter), has been adding new features left, right, and center. Just a few days back, it added the ability to share disappearing Ghost posts. Now, the app has announced two new features, starting with reply approvals, which let you select which replies show below your posts, to keep the conversation civil and to the point.
Users can turn on the Review and approve replies toggle while sharing a post. Any reply that you receive will show up in the Pending tab. From here, you can select which ones to approve and which replies you want to ignore. According to Meta’s blog post, “This way, you can surface the replies you care about most and focus on the discussions you’re interested in.”
The Threads app is also adding a new “People you follow” and “Mentions” filter that will appear at the top of the Activity feed. This will make it easier to sort through replies and find the one most relevant to you easily.
Meta has been putting its efforts on Threads, as the app reaches 150 million daily active users according to Meta’s third-quarter earnings call. As a result, the app is getting new features lately, adding detailed insights for Threads creators, and ramping up ads on the platform, with video ads arriving sometime soon.
