Meta’s text-based app Threads has rolled out a new feature allowing users to control who can quote their posts within the app. According to TechCrunch, the update introduces a who can “reply” and “quote” option in the three-dot menu for each individual post.

With this update, users now have the power to choose from three options – ‘Anyone,’ ‘Profiles you follow,’ or ‘Mentioned only’ – to restrict who can quote their Threads posts. This enhancement in control surpasses X’s capability of limiting who can reply.

“The ability to limit who can quote your Threads posts is now available to everyone. You can allow quotes from everyone on Threads, only the people you follow, or disable quote posts entirely. I hope this will help keep Threads a more positive place and give people more control over their experience. If you’ve been using this feature, would love to hear your thoughts,” Threads chief Adam Mosseri wrote.

The quoting controls supplement other recent Threads tools like hiding replies, muting words/phrases/numbers/emojis, and muting notifications for post interactions. These options cumulatively provide users with more capacity to curate their feeds and experiences on the platform. The new quoting controls align with Meta’s aim for Threads to foster more positive dialogue.
