Are you tired of receiving Threads mentions from people you don’t know or who you don’t follow? Then this piece is for you. If you have a public profile and receive constant mentions notifications, you can stop receiving them by adjusting your privacy settings without creating a private account. In this article, we will go over how to allow @mentions only from people you follow on Threads.<\/p>
So, without further ado, let’s dive in.<\/p>
Threads, Meta’s brainchild, is a text-centric application that immerses you in a whirlwind of engaging dialogues. You can post text updates with up to 500 characters that can include images and videos that are less than 5 minutes long.<\/p>
Now, consider mentions to be a virtual nudge, a way of tagging people in your threads, replies, or even your bio. When your name appears in a post, you receive a notification, keeping you up to date on the thread and any subsequent chatter. Consider having a username that is uncannily similar to a celebrity or being an influencer yourself. You may discover an avalanche of mentions in your notifications – an unwelcome digital popularity contest!<\/p>
Threads has woven a solution into its privacy tapestry, so don’t worry. You can limit mentions to only those you follow by adjusting your settings, effectively avoiding a barrage of unsolicited notifications.<\/p>
So, to prevent random people from mentioning you in replies and threads, follow these steps. You can also use the Hidden Words feature to block offensive words, phrases, and emojis in your mentions and replies.<\/p>
And with that, you’re finished! This is how you can restrict mentions on Threads to people you follow.<\/p>
Open the Threads app and tap on profile, which is the person-shaped icon in the bottom right-hand corner.<\/p>
To open Settings, tap the two lines in the upper right-hand corner.<\/p>
After that, select Notifications.<\/p>
Then, select Threads and Replies.<\/p>
Likes, Replies, Mentions, Reports, Quotes, and First Threads are among the options available here.<\/p>
To select From people you know, you must tap each of these.<\/p>
Tap the Home icon to return to your feed, where you should notice that it is now only showing posts from people you follow on Threads.<\/p>
If you want to change things back, simply repeat the process and select Everyone.<\/p>
Instagram Threads is an Instagram app that is similar to Twitter in that you can post threads that are nothing more than textual posts, which you call tweets on Twitter, and join public conversations.<\/p>
Follow the steps below to follow all of your friends on Instagram Threads:<\/p>
Tagging is not difficult. To mention someone, simply use the @ symbol followed by their username. The tricky part is knowing where and how to use it.<\/p>
As a result, we’ll show you how to tag someone on Threads using your smartphone in three different sections. You can get the gist of it by looking at each of them.<\/p>
Follow the steps below on your mobile phone to mention someone in a New Thread or post.<\/p>
Keep in mind that there should be no space between the symbol and the username. For instance, @Kenny_jessy, @Emmxziie, and so on.<\/p>
So, select the username you want to tag or mention in your post (photo, status, video, etc.). It will be highlighted in blue in your content section right away.<\/p>
Finally, in the lower right corner, press the “Post” button to publish your post.<\/p>
That person will now be aware of your post, and another user can tap on the mention to visit your friend’s profile.<\/p>
After you’ve published your post, you might want to tag someone. In such cases, mentioning may be difficult.<\/p>
In such cases, open the post from your Profile page or feeds first. Now, at the bottom of that post, tap the “Add to thread” option to edit your content.<\/p>
To mention someone, simply type their username followed by the @ symbol. Then, in the lower right corner, press the “Post” button, and that person will be successfully tagged.<\/p>
Mentioning someone in a comment is commonly referred to as “Meniton.” So, if you want to mention someone in an interesting post, follow the same steps.<\/p>
Locate the post in your news feed and tap the “comment” icon next to the “heart” icon.<\/p>
Now, on your keyboard, type the @ symbol followed by the username of the person you want to tag. After that, choose that person from the list and click the “Post” button to the right.<\/p>
If you want, you can also write something describing the post. To mention multiple people, user space, or commas, repeat the preceding process. You may mention an unlimited number of users.<\/p>
