Meta is testing spoiler tags, claiming it’s the first app of its kind to offer the option
Meta is continuing to develop Threads with features aimed at making it a more complete social platform. The latest addition is a spoiler tag that lets users hide parts of their posts, such as text or images, that reveal key plot points or other sensitive information.
Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced the feature in a Threads post, explaining how it works. When creating a post, users can highlight certain parts and select «mark spoiler» to blur the content. Others will see a blurred preview and can tap to reveal it if they choose. According to Mosseri, Threads is «the only app of its kind to have this type of content label.»
That claim may be a bit of a stretch. Reddit has offered spoiler tags for years, letting users flag content that may reveal too much.
