Threads Spoiler Tag: How to Hide Spoilers on Threads
Tired of stumbling on spoilers while scrolling? Threads is now testing a spoiler-hiding feature that lets users blur images and text — giving everyone more control over what they see.
Meta is introducing a much-needed update to Threads: a spoiler tag option that allows users to hide content that could ruin a TV show, movie, or game reveal. This new test, confirmed by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, lets you mark images or text as spoilers by simply tapping or highlighting the content and selecting "Mark as spoiler." Once tagged, the content appears blurred — and others can tap to reveal it when ready. This gives Threads users better control over their feed and helps avoid unwanted surprises.
How Threads Spoiler Tag Works
The spoiler tag on Threads works similarly to Reddit's spoiler tool. If you're part of the test, you can blur out any post — image or text — with just a few taps. This is especially useful during major entertainment drops like new Marvel episodes or game releases. The content stays hidden until viewers click or tap it. Depending on the device you're using, the blurred spoiler appears differently. On desktop, it's covered by a gray block, while on mobile, it’s masked with floating dots.
Who Can Use Threads’ Spoiler Feature?
According to Meta spokesperson Alec Booker, this is a global test, meaning users worldwide may gain access — but Meta hasn’t revealed how many people are included yet. The feature is currently optimized for mobile, though improvements for desktop users are in development. That means if you’re on Threads mobile, you’re likely to see and use the feature first.
Why Threads Spoiler Tags Matter
The Threads spoiler tag adds a small but powerful layer of personalization. Whether you're dodging leaks from your favorite show or shielding others from your own spoilers, the ability to blur content respects everyone's experience. As spoiler culture becomes more of a concern across social media, it’s encouraging to see Threads adopt tools that prioritize viewer choice and comfort.
