This article will discuss two scenarios. In the first scenario, you will notice that a hidden comment is not removed immediately. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. It can generate further discussion if other users notice the comment. If this happens, make sure to explain why you are hiding the comment. This will keep the conversation civil and will prevent other users from making inappropriate comments.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Two_possible_scenarios_for_hiding_a_comment_on_any_post_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Two possible scenarios for hiding a comment on any post on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The ultimate solution to a problem is to address it directly. Hide comments on Facebook are not a permanent solution to this problem. It is possible to unhide them by clicking the three dots next to them. You can also tap the unhide button if you want to make the comment visible. It should be noted that the comment owner can still see the hidden comment. This article addresses two scenarios in which hiding a comment on Facebook is beneficial.<\/p>\n<p>The first scenario involves banning the commenter. This option can be used to report a commenter to Facebook for leaving offensive and spam comments. If you don&#8217;t want to delete the comment, you can choose to hide the commenter by banning them. This method is effective for users who leave spammy and hateful comments on your posts. However, banning someone won&#8217;t prevent them from coming back. So, hide comments from Facebook if you want to avoid having problems with them in the future.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Two_ways_to_hide_a_comment_on_a_post_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Two ways to hide a comment on a post on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to delete a comment from your Facebook timeline, there are two ways to do it. The first method is to click the three dots located to the right of the comment. By clicking the three dots, you&#8217;ll see options to delete the comment or hide it completely. To undo the process of hiding a comment, you&#8217;ll need to hover your cursor over the comment again and tap the three dots again. Click the &#8220;Hide comment&#8221; option.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve done this, go back to the post that you&#8217;ve hidden the comment from. Facebook now lets you hide comments by placing a cross inside a grey box. This will keep the comment from becoming visible to others. If you don&#8217;t want this comment to be seen by other people, however, you should consider removing the comment and moving it to the private message feature instead.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steps_to_auto-hide_a_comment_on_a_post_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Steps to auto-hide a comment on a post on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If someone makes a negative comment about a brand, you may want to hide it. It will not show up for the poster, but it does prevent other users from seeing it. If someone makes a sub-comment that mocks the main comment author, they won&#8217;t be able to see it. The good news is that you can always unhide the comment again.<\/p>\n<p>Hide comments is one of the easiest ways to protect yourself from a negative comment. This is especially helpful if you&#8217;re responding to a post that contains comments that you find offensive. By hiding comments, you cut yourself out of the conversation and ensure a healthy discussion. To hide a comment, simply click on it and select the ellipsis icon (three horizontal dots) to the right of it. This will reveal a menu option for &#8220;Hide comment&#8221; (and will not delete the comment).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Removing_a_comment_from_a_post_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Removing a comment from a post on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To remove a comment from a post on Facebook, follow these steps. First, find the post that contains the comment and hover over it. If it is a personal post, choose &#8220;Edit&#8221; and then &#8220;Hide Comments.&#8221; From there, you can hide, embed, or delete the comment. If you&#8217;re not sure what this process means, read on. After you&#8217;ve completed this step, you&#8217;ll be able to remove any other comments.<\/p>\n<p>You can also delete a comment on Facebook from your mobile device. This method differs from the desktop version because you have to use your mobile device. On the mobile app, long-press on the comment that you want to delete. A menu will appear and you will be asked to confirm the deletion. Once you confirm the deletion, you&#8217;ll be able to delete the comment without having to worry about it getting deleted forever.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_a_comment_from_a_post_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Delete a comment from a post on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may be wondering how to delete a comment from a Facebook post. This process is surprisingly easy. First, find the post where you want to delete the comment. You can also use the app&#8217;s menu. Tap on the icon that looks like a white &#8220;f&#8221; on a dark blue background. Once you have your profile open, you can log into the app. From there, you can select the &#8220;Delete comment&#8221; button.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to delete a comment from a Facebook post is to click on it and hover over the offending comment. On the right side of the comment, you should see a small downward-facing arrow. This will delete the comment. You can also delete the comment if it was posted on your profile picture. This way, you can quickly delete a comment from any Facebook post. You can also use this process to delete comments that were posted on other people&#8217;s profiles.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_a_comment_from_a_post_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Hide a comment from a post on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is possible to hide a comment from a Facebook post. By hiding the comment, only the person who posted the comment will see it. However, the person who posted the comment can still see the comment, and it is still visible to people who were tagged in the post. The user can also report any hidden comments to Facebook. Hide a comment from a post on Facebook is easy.<\/p>\n<p>To hide a comment from a Facebook post, you simply need to click on the three dots in the right hand corner of the comment. This will reveal an option to delete the comment, or hide it. If you&#8217;re not sure whether you want to hide a comment, you can always unhide it again later. Hiding a comment will also preserve your comment. If you&#8217;ve hidden an offensive comment in a post, you&#8217;ll want to consider hiding it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Happens When You Hide a Comment on Facebook?
