There&#8217;s a simple way to do it. All you need to do is navigate to the comment you want to delete and press the red trash can button. After you delete a comment, you&#8217;ll no longer be able to see it. The good news is that it&#8217;s not impossible to retrieve deleted comments later on. So what&#8217;s the catch?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing_a_comment_on_instagram\"><\/span>Editing a comment on instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are on your smartphone and accidentally posted a comment that you don&#8217;t want to be seen by the person who wrote it, you can always edit it. However, this isn&#8217;t possible on desktop computers. Luckily, Instagram has a feature called &#8216;Edit Comment&#8217; that allows you to change it without deleting it. Follow these steps to delete and edit comments on Instagram. If you want to delete a comment on a post, you&#8217;ll need to find the original post, sign in, and tap on the speech bubble icon. You can also delete comments if you want.<\/p>\n<p>The first step in editing a comment is to navigate to your profile. From there, select the post you want to edit. If it is a live post, you can edit the caption by selecting the three horizontal dots in the bottom-right corner of the post. Once you&#8217;ve made changes to the caption, you&#8217;ll be prompted to save your changes. However, you can&#8217;t edit comments left on other users&#8217; posts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocking_comments_from_multiple_accounts\"><\/span>Blocking comments from multiple accounts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been receiving unwanted messages or comments from other Instagram users, you may want to block or restrict them temporarily. Instagram is launching a new feature to combat harassment and bullying on its social network. You can restrict or block comments from several accounts. Instagram will reveal more details about the new feature in the coming days. For now, you can block comments from specific accounts or set a timer. Here&#8217;s how to set up the new feature.<\/p>\n<p>You can block as many accounts as you like. However, blockees won&#8217;t receive notifications about your block request, and they&#8217;ll need to manually delete comments to stop them from appearing on your Instagram profile. This feature will soon be tested for pinned comments and is expected to make its way into the app. Once it&#8217;s live, Instagram will begin testing pinned comments for its users. You can also manually unblock a user.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_comments\"><\/span>Hide comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hide comments on Instagram is a new feature that has been made available for the platform. In order to prevent cyberbullying, this tool makes it impossible for other people to see what you&#8217;ve posted. However, this feature does not stop all cyberbullies. It&#8217;s important to be aware of your surroundings and report any comments that might offend you or annoy other users. In addition, you can also report comments on your own account, which will help others avoid them.<\/p>\n<p>To hide comments on Instagram, you must have an account and access the app. There, you can select a list of custom words that you want people to not be able to see. Then, click on Advanced comment filtering. Select Hide comments and select the words you&#8217;d like to filter. If you don&#8217;t want others to see your posts, check the box next to the Offended words and phrases. You can also choose to hide message requests.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_more_engagement\"><\/span>Getting more engagement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have received a negative comment on your Instagram post, you can delete it. However, if you have a business account, you should respond in a professional manner. This will win over new followers and gain loyalists. A casual or creative account doesn&#8217;t need to put up with this negativity. It&#8217;s a good idea to respond to any negative comments in a polite and professional manner.<\/p>\n<p>To boost your engagement rates, you can use captions and links in your bio. Use this as a way to direct followers to your latest blog post or new product. You can also use shortened tracking links to see how many people come from your Instagram account. Geotags are another way to boost engagement. This way, people who are nearby your account can find your posts and click through them. This will also give you an added edge in terms of search engine rankings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete a Comment on Instagram Do you want to delete a comment on Instagram?
