Instagram Threads Faces Backlash Over New Direct Messages Feature

Instagram Threads recently introduced direct messages (DMs) as its most-requested feature, sparking a wave of criticism from users, particularly women, who are concerned about potential harassment. The addition of DMs has led to calls for an opt-out option to address these issues.

While DMs are common on other social platforms like X, Bluesky, and Mastodon, Threads users previously enjoyed a platform without this feature. However, the recent update has prompted backlash from users who feel that the new feature exposes them to unwanted communication.

One user expressed frustration by asking how to disable DMs on behalf of all women, highlighting concerns about online harassment. Another user pointed out that the feature could potentially facilitate online harassment, while a third user criticized the addition as catering to stalkers.

Many users echoed these sentiments, expressing their disapproval of the DM feature and questioning its necessity. Some users referenced a poll where the majority indicated a preference for not having DMs on Threads. Despite user feedback, there is currently no option to disable the feature.

Aside from harassment concerns, users also worry about potential influx of bots, spam, and unwanted messages flooding their inboxes. The current system requires users to follow someone in order to receive DMs from them, with unfollowing or blocking as potential solutions to manage unwanted communication.

It is evident that the addition of DMs has stirred controversy among Threads users, with some feeling that their voices were not heard in the decision-making process. The lack of control over the feature and the absence of an opt-out option have left many feeling frustrated and powerless.

As Threads evolves and introduces new features, it is important for Meta to consider user feedback and ensure that the platform remains a safe and enjoyable space for all users. The impact of adding DMs without user consent serves as a reminder of the importance of balancing innovation with user preferences to maintain a positive user experience.
