In the next step, tap &#8216;view&#8217; to view comments and replies. If you prefer to keep private comments, you can use the hidden words feature, but you need to be logged in to view it. You can also pin comments if you want to keep them private.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Hidden_Words\"><\/span>Using Hidden Words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how to delete a comment on Instagram, then you&#8217;ve come to the right place. In case you&#8217;ve missed it, you can now use Instagram&#8217;s hidden words feature to hide comments from view. Long-pressing a comment is no longer an option for hiding it. In order to enable the hidden words feature on Instagram, you need to open the app and click on Settings. Next, select Privacy. Scroll down to Hidden words and check the box.<\/p>\n<p>This feature will allow you to hide offensive emojis, words, and phrases from other Instagram users. If you are worried that your account will become full of spam, you can use hidden words to protect yourself from being bombarded with petty comments. If someone is threatening or abusive, you will be notified and blocked, so that your profile won&#8217;t become flooded with spam comments. Hidden words are also great for blocking certain emojis and words in a comment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing_your_own_comment\"><\/span>Editing your own comment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve posted a comment on Instagram and later realized that you made a typo, you can go back and edit it. This new feature allows you to edit your own comment without having to delete it. It also lets you add and remove pictures without having to start from scratch. Here&#8217;s how to edit your comment on Instagram. First, click the three-dot menu at the top-right corner of the screen. From here, you can change the text and click the check mark to save your changes. Note that this feature only allows you to edit your own comment, not the comments made by others.<\/p>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve edited the comment, you can delete it. To delete your comment, swipe left to select it. Then, tap the trash can icon to delete it. You can also click on the comment and press &#8220;send&#8221; to repost it. If you&#8217;d like to add another comment, you can go to the caption and click &#8220;re-post.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pinning_a_comment\"><\/span>Pinning a comment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to block a comment on Instagram, you can pin it. You can do this up to three times per post. You can also reply or report a comment. Instagram also provides tools for reporting and replying to comments, so you can choose the one you want to remove from your account. Pinnable comments will appear on the top of your notifications. You can then use the new feature to block comments from displaying on your profile.<\/p>\n<p>To pin a comment on Instagram, you must update the app. To pin a comment, swipe left to find the thumbtack icon. You can pin up to three comments per post. If you want to block more than one comment, pin them all. In this way, you can hide negative comments and highlight positive ones. However, you cannot pin your own comment. To block the comment, you need to unfollow the user.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Hidden_Words_to_hide_offensive_comments\"><\/span>Using Hidden Words to hide offensive comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In recent months, Instagram has been testing a new feature that lets users hide offensive comments and emojis. When you turn on the Hidden Words feature, comments with the above words will be routed to a Hidden folder. You can decide to view these comments or not, if you like. In the meantime, the company has expanded its list of potential offensive words and has promised to keep it up to date.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have enabled the feature, you can create a custom word list. Here, you can enter words and phrases that you consider offensive. Once you have added the words, you can toggle the option &#8220;Hide comments and message requests.&#8221; Instagram will now warn you if a commenter consistently uses offensive words. You can also hide comments that contain messages that are sent from non-followers. By following the steps above, you can protect your community from abusive comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete a Comment on Instagram If you want to delete a comment on Instagram, you can swipe left on it, tap the heart icon and select &#8216;delete&#8217;.
