( Credit to: Readwrite )
Threads, the social media platform associated with Instagram, has unveiled new features that give users more control over how their posts are quoted. With the latest update, users can customize their permissions to personalize their interactions on the platform. This article explores the new quote controls on Threads and their impact on user experiences.
Customize Who Can Quote Your Threads Posts
Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, recently announced the introduction of quote controls on Threads. Users now have the ability to limit who can quote their posts, allowing for a more tailored experience. Mosseri explained that users can choose to allow quotes from everyone on Threads, only the people they follow, or disable quote posts entirely.
This update empowers users to have more autonomy over their posts and interactions on the platform. By customizing their quote controls, users can curate their Threads experience and ensure that their content is shared with the desired audience.
Building Upon Previous Updates on Threads
This latest change builds upon the previously released features on Threads. Last month, Adam Mosseri introduced the Hidden Words filter update, which allows users to remove unwanted interactions or suggestions. He also hinted at these new quote controls, stating that they were testing ways to select who can quote users and the ability to mute notifications on posts.
Additionally, Threads offers archival tools for users who want more control over their posts that they no longer wish to be public. These tools provide users with the ability to manage their content effectively and maintain their desired level of privacy.
Threads: A Strong Competitor in the Social Media Landscape
Threads is a major competitor to X (formerly known as Twitter) and has experienced significant success compared to the original limited-character posting platform. During Facebook's Q1 earnings call, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed that Threads has reached 150 million active monthly users. The call also highlighted a 27% increase in earnings for the company during this financial quarter.
Meta has made substantial investments in all its platforms, allowing users to share and create content while incorporating generative artificial intelligence (AI) features. Zuckerberg's empire launched the Meta Llama 3 for all their social platforms last month, followed by positive results in the Q1 financial report.
Zuckerberg is determined to establish Meta as the leading provider of AI technology in users' lives and believes that the company should continue investing heavily in this area. During the earnings call, he stated, "Meta should invest significantly more over the coming years to build even more advanced models and the largest-scale AI services in the world."
Enhancing User Experiences with Advanced AI Services
With the introduction of quote controls, Threads users now have more control and autonomy over their posts and interactions on the platform. This update aligns with Meta's ongoing efforts to enhance user experiences and provide advanced AI services.
Meta's investments in AI technology aim to improve the platform's functionality and offer users a more personalized and tailored experience. The quote controls feature is just one example of how Meta is prioritizing user control and customization.
