Hey there, Instagram users! Today, we’re diving into a crucial aspect of social media – managing comments on your Instagram posts. Now, we all know that Instagram is a diverse platform, and while there are great users out there, unfortunately, there are also those who can be a bit, well, unpleasant.
Handling Annoying Comments
So, what do you do when you encounter those pesky, irritating comments? Well, Instagram’s got your back. You can delete those unwanted comments and even hide them. Let’s see how:
Deleting Comments
Step one, Open the Instagram app on your phone, whether you’re on Android or iOS. Head to your profile page and find the post with the comment you want to delete. Once you’re on your post, tap on the comment icon. If you’re on iOS, just swipe left on the comment to delete it. For Android users, tap on the comment, and you’ll see the option to delete it.
Remember, when you delete a comment, it’s gone for good. There’s no turning back, so use this power wisely. You can even delete multiple comments at once by selecting the ones you want to remove and tapping the garbage symbol.
Deleting Comments: Step by Step for Android and iOS
Step 1: Open the Instagram app on your mobile device (Android or iOS).
Step 2: Navigate to your profile page by tapping on your profile picture in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Step 3: Scroll through your posts and find the one with the comment you want to delete.
Step 4: Tap on the post to open it.
Step 5: Beneath the post, you’ll see the comments section with all the comments displayed.
Step 6: Find the specific comment you want to delete.
Step 7 (For iOS Users): If you’re using an iOS device, swipe left on the comment you want to delete. You will see a “Delete” button. Tap on it to confirm the deletion.
Step 7 (For Android Users): If you’re using an Android device, tap and hold on the comment you want to delete. A menu will appear with the option to “Delete.” Tap on “Delete” to confirm.
Step 8: The comment will be deleted, and it will no longer appear on your post.
Hiding Comments
But what if you want to keep comments but just not show them to everyone? Maybe your relatives left a comment you’d rather not have everyone see? Well, you can hide them too! You can even set Instagram to filter out inappropriate or offensive comments automatically. Here’s how:
Hiding Comments on Instagram
- Open your Instagram account.
- Tap on your profile picture in the corner.
- Look for those three horizontal lines – that’s your gateway to Settings.
- In the Settings menu, find the Privacy section.
- Here, you can tweak your comments settings. You can choose to hide all comments or just the offensive ones.
And there you go! You’re in control of your Instagram comments. So, whether you want to delete the negativity or keep some comments for select eyes only, Instagram’s got the tools to make it happen. Stay tuned for more Instagram tips and tricks! 📱🗨️✨
