You’ll now see a few options to choose from: ‘Pause All,’ ‘Threads and Replies,’ ‘Following and Followers,’ and ‘From Threads.’

• Pause all : This feature allows you to pause all notifications for Threads app. However, you’ll be able to see new notifications when you open Threads.
  • Tap on the toggle button appearing on the right side of the ‘Pause all’ option.
  • You’ll see a pop-up screen. It will want to know how long you want to stop all Threads notifications. You can pick a time between 15 minutes and 8 hours.

  

Note: If you change your mind about pausing notifications, you can tap the ‘Cancel’ button.

• Threads and replies: This gives you an opportunity to manually manage notifications with your social circle. You can tweak notifications for likes, replies, mentions, reposts, quotes, or initial threads.
  • From everyone: Choosing this option means you’ll get notifications from everyone, irrespective of whether you follow them or they follow you.
