By following a few simple steps, you can restrict or hide comments from people you don&#8217;t follow. You can also edit a comment that someone else has left on your post, or hide comments that you find offensive. To get started, visit the Instagram app in your phone&#8217;s app drawer or home screen. Open your profile, then tap the three horizontal lines on the bottom left. Next, select &#8220;Settings,&#8221; then &#8220;Limits.&#8221; You can choose how long you want the comments to last, as well as which accounts you don&#8217;t want to see.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restrict_feature_allows_you_to_hide_comments_from_people_who_dont_follow_you\"><\/span>Restrict feature allows you to hide comments from people who don&#8217;t follow you<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve had the unfortunate experience of being blocked on Instagram by a friend, you know how awkward it can be. Luckily, Instagram has a simple fix for this problem: the Restrict feature. This feature allows you to limit interactions with other accounts, but not messages sent through Facebook Messenger. By restricting comments, you can ensure that no one will make you feel uncomfortable by commenting on your posts or leaving negative feedback.<\/p>\n<p>People who aren&#8217;t following you can still send you a direct message, but they will be placed in your &#8220;Message Requests&#8221; folder, which means that they won&#8217;t be shown in your &#8220;Read&#8221; receipt. Additionally, these people can&#8217;t see your active status, and they won&#8217;t be able to view your block option. However, you can remove the restriction whenever you want.<\/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&#8217;ve ever posted a comment on Instagram, you know that you have the ability to change it. While it might be tempting to just delete the comment and type a new one, you can actually edit it later. Editing your comments is also convenient for users who want to clarify a previous comment or change the way they say something without having to start over from scratch. Here are some steps to follow:<\/p>\n<p>First, you need to log into your Instagram account. Make sure there&#8217;s no space between your username and password. You can also enter more than one username at a time. Next, type the text of your comment and press Enter. Once you&#8217;re done, click the &#8220;Edit&#8221; button to see the changes that you&#8217;ve made. You can then choose to delete multiple comments if necessary. You can edit comments on Instagram with this process.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_a_comment_on_someone_elses_post\"><\/span>Delete a comment on someone else&#8217;s post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Delete a comment on someone else&#8217;S post? There are several reasons you might want to do this. First, deleting comments that you don&#8217;t like can make people suspicious. Second, deleting comments can make them anonymous and thus not visible to the rest of the community. Finally, deleting a comment on someone else&#8217;s post can improve the overall quality of your profile and page. For example, if a Mac user comments that the book for Windows computers is worthless, deleting their comment will prevent a nasty flame war from forming.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to delete a comment, you can go to the post where the comment was posted and click on the three dots at the bottom right of the comment. Select &#8220;Delete&#8221; and confirm your deletion. Alternatively, you can also edit the comment before posting it. To edit a comment, click the three dots to the right of the comment and select Edit. Then select Delete or &#8220;Hide Comment&#8221; in the pull-down menu.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_offensive_comments\"><\/span>Hide offensive comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How can I hide offensive comments on Instagram? Instagram has an advanced comment filtering feature that enables you to choose to hide offensive words, phrases, emojis, and message requests. You can use this filter to keep yourself safe from bullies who might post comments that are offensive to you. Instagram is free to use, but you must subscribe to receive notifications to activate the feature. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time.<\/p>\n<p>Another new feature that is set to take effect on Monday is the ability to hide offensive comments from users. In the past, users had to manually report offensive comments, but now, Instagram will automatically hide them for them. But that doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t see them. You can choose to delete them, too. This new feature is just one of the many ways to protect yourself from the cyberbullies who prey on users who are trying to spread hate and sexism.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"265\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w8yT8TtwpF4\" width=\"474\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Limit Comments on Instagram How do I limit comments on Instagram?
