Facebook recently allowed personal profiles to control how many people can comment on a post. There are other ways to control comments, too, such as limiting or banning certain people. Below, you&#8217;ll find more information about how to turn off comment on Facebook. You can also hide or delete fake comments. If you&#8217;d like to prevent people from commenting on your posts, read on!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disable_or_delete_comments_on_your_post\"><\/span>Disable or delete comments on your post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How to disable or delete comments on your post is possible on Facebook, but only for specific posts. You must be an admin of the group or page where the post was posted and you must be the original poster to turn this off. If you want to remove comments on a specific post, you can disable them by following these four steps. You can also delete them by visiting the comments section of your post and clicking the X at the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>Disabling or deleting comments is not an option that can be applied to all posts. Because the algorithm on Facebook is based on engagement, turning off comments will actually make your post less engaging and can hurt your brand&#8217;s PR. Usually, companies will not disable comments, unless they are required to do so for compliance reasons. However, you can turn off comments on specific posts. Then, follow the steps below to prevent inappropriate comments on your post.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limit_or_remove_comments_on_a_post\"><\/span>Limit or remove comments on a post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can limit or remove comments on a post on Facebook, but you need to be the original poster to do so. Facebook provides two options for limiting comments: hiding comments and deleting them. The former requires you to confirm your action, while hiding comments doesn&#8217;t. It&#8217;s important to know that you can always revert this choice if you change your mind later. To remove a comment, click on the ellipsis icon next to the comment you want to hide.<\/p>\n<p>To limit comments on a post on Facebook, select &#8220;Friends except&#8230;&#8221;, then click &#8220;Edit&#8221;. Alternatively, click on &#8220;Custom&#8221; to hide comments from specific friends or from all users. The latter option will hide comments from existing and future posts. You can also choose &#8220;Friends not mentioned&#8221; if you don&#8217;t want others to see your post. But this option will only work if you have only one friend who has the post you&#8217;re hiding.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manage_comments_on_a_post\"><\/span>Manage comments on a post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve published a public post on Facebook, you probably want to manage comments. You can do so by modifying the settings on the post itself. For example, you can disable comments for certain friends or group members. If you&#8217;d prefer not to receive comments, you can set these options for all public posts. You can also choose to hide certain posts from specific audiences. However, these options only apply to Facebook users.<\/p>\n<p>One option is to delete the comment completely. This option requires that you wait until the user who made the comment sees it. Then, click on the three dots beside the comment and select &#8220;Delete.&#8221; Another option is to hide the comment, which means that it can&#8217;t be reposted. This may be the best option, depending on the reason. The most common reasons for disabling comments are privacy concerns and offensive remarks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_or_delete_fake_comments\"><\/span>Hide or delete fake comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How to hide or delete fake comments on Facebook? It is possible to block the person who posted the comment. Depending on the context, hiding or blocking the person will depend on how you feel about the comment. Hiding the comment is best suited in situations where it is important not to cause a conflict. If the comment is offensive, you may choose to delete it instead. However, remember that deleting it will not remove the content completely from the page.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to hide the comment, you should log in to your Facebook account. You can do this by clicking on the three dots that appear in the bottom-right corner of the comment. Next to it, select the Hide Comment Option. Alternatively, you can long press the comment to unhide it. This will hide it from view but the person who posted it can still see it. This feature is available only if you are the owner of the page, post or group.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"435\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vetwrdKGdjo\" height=\"243\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Turn Off Comment on Facebook Delete or disable comments on your posts are two ways to control the amount of commenting on your posts.
