How to customize or manage Mentions on Threads app

Seeking guidance on customizing or managing Mentions on the Threads app? Our straightforward and user-friendly guide will walk you through the necessary steps.

Threads enables you to customize various settings to maintain both privacy and a good user experience. When someone uses your username in a Threads conversation, others can simply tap on it to visit your profile.

You have the power to control who can tag your profile by adjusting your mention settings.

This way if someone you’re not following or anyone for that matter, depending on your settings, tries to mention you, they will be notified that you have restricted mentions from everyone.

To effectively handle mentions in the Threads app, you need to modify your mention settings.

• Everyone: This setting is enabled by default in the ‘Mention’ settings, so you don’t need to manually activate it. However, if you prefer not to handle mentions within threads, you can simply leave it as is.
• Profiles you follow: Select this option if you want people you follow to have the ability to mention or tag you in their Threads, Replies, or Bio.
• No one: Choose this option if you prefer not to have your Threads handle mentioned by anyone.

Note: If you block someone, they will not be able to mention your username.

We hope this guide helped you figure out how to customize or manage Mentions on the Threads app by Meta.
