Highlights Threads is testing a new feature that lets users hide the "Replies" tab on their profile. It will allow them to view their own replies in the app's settings. Threads allow users to follow accounts from other fediverse platforms. Features are currently being tested with a small group of users and have not officially launched yet Threads has been on a spree of introducing new features that give users more control over their privacy and timelines. Here’s what’s new the platform is working on and how these updates could change your experience. Hide Your Replies for Better Privacy Screenshot shared by Alessandro Paluzzi on Threads. Threads is testing a new option to make your replies less visible by letting you hide the "Replies" tab on your profile. This change leaves only two visible tabs: "Posts" and "Reposts." This feature provides a middle ground for those seeking more privacy without switching to a fully private profile, which restricts post visibility to approved followers. While replies already have limited visibility in Threads' “For You” feed, this new option makes them even harder for others to find. View on Threads Reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi first noticed the feature, which is currently rolling out to the iOS app. View on Threads Meta confirmed to TechCrunch that the option is being tested with a small group of users but hasn’t officially launched yet.

By default, it’s enabled, but you can turn it off to hide your replies. Even with this setting disabled, you can still view your replies in the Threads app’s Settings under sections like Saved items, Likes and Archive. This isn’t the first control Threads has added for replies. Earlier, the platform introduced options to limit who can reply to your posts, letting you choose between anyone, people you follow, or only those mentioned in your post—similar to X. Threads’ Fediverse Integration Getting Better, Users To Follow Fediverse Accounts Threads is also improving its integration with the fediverse allowing users to follow accounts from other fediverse platforms and see their posts in their timeline.
