Hide Your Posts From Viewers: Instagram and Facebook Introduce Meta Threads Suggestion Feature
Meta’s Threads has reportedly given users the ability to prevent message suggestions from appearing on Meta’s other platforms, such as Instagram or Facebook. This comes after users expressed displeasure with Meta’s Threads integration, specifically the “For You on Threads” carousel on Instagram and Facebook feeds.
This feature, as noted by The Verge, is gradually rolling out to users. To check if you have it and to turn off the suggestion carousel box on Instagram and Facebook, follow these steps:
- Open the Threads app and go to Privacy.
- Here you will find “Suggesting posts” with corresponding Instagram and Facebook switches.
- Change these settings according to your preferences. As expected, you can also turn off the carousel from either Facebook or Instagram only.
If you don’t have this feature in your Threads app, be sure to update your app to the latest version available. If you still don’t have it, you’ll have to wait until Meta makes this update available to all Threads users, as like most Meta releases, this can be done in stages.
In related news, Threads also released an edit button for users last month. This free feature allows users to make changes to their messages within five minutes of sending them, so they can quickly correct errors or update the message. Unlike X (formerly Twitter), this feature is not limited to paying Meta Verified users. any user can use it to edit the thread.
