Like Reddit, Meta Trials Spoiler Hiding Feature on Threads
- Meta has launched a global test of its new Threads spoiler-hiding feature to prevent unexpected plot reveals or sensitive content.
- Users can blur specific text or images in their posts by marking them as spoilers, which remain hidden until revealed by tapping or clicking.
- The feature varies visually across platforms, with mobile users seeing floating dots and desktop users experiencing a darkened blur overlay.
- Mark Zuckerberg stated that the feature aims to enhance pop-culture discussions by reducing accidental spoilers on Threads.
- The feature test is initially rolling out to a limited set of global users, with a broader release planned based on early feedback.
- Inspired by Reddit's spoiler tags, Threads integrates spoiler controls within the composer for easy application without the need for hashtags or markdowns.
- Meta highlighted the app's engagement with popular shows like 'The Last of Us' and 'The White Lotus' among entertainment and pop culture enthusiasts on Threads.
- In addition to the spoiler feature, Meta is experimenting with a direct-messages inbox within Threads in selected regions, aiming for a fully standalone app.
