All you need to do is navigate to the comment you want to remove, and press the red trash can button. Once the comment has been removed, you won&#8217;t be able to find it again. But you can still edit the caption, turn comments off, and hide comments from certain people. Follow the steps outlined below to delete any comment left on your Instagram post.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing_captions\"><\/span>Editing captions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the past, editing your Instagram captions was a pain. Fortunately, the new app makes it easier than ever to change the words that appear below your photos. With the return key, you can insert spaces without entering the whole text. Simply start typing the caption, tap the numbers keystroke, and you&#8217;ll see a paragraph space appear at the end of the sentence. You can also add more spaces to your captions by typing the word &#8220;more&#8221; into the space provided.<\/p>\n<p>Besides adding account tags to your photos, you can also edit captions in Instagram. This feature is available both in the Instagram mobile app and the Instagram computer app. Once you have edited a caption, you can now post it on the social networking site. However, you should check the spelling of your caption carefully before uploading it to your account. It&#8217;s also a good idea to proofread your uploaded content to reduce the number of edits you make.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turning_off_comments\"><\/span>Turning off comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve recently noticed that your Instagram friends aren&#8217;t commenting on your posts, you might want to disable the comments on new posts. This is also the best way to prevent trolls from harassing you and detracting from your overall engagement. While comments are essential to a successful social media presence, you may be putting your followers&#8217; privacy at risk by not letting them comment on your posts.<\/p>\n<p>As part of Instagram&#8217;s efforts to improve user privacy, you can turn off comments in your feed. While it&#8217;s not possible to turn comments off entirely, you can do it on a post-by-post basis. In addition to this, Instagram has added the ability to turn off comments on private accounts and those you follow. Having a dedicated comment policy is a great way to protect your privacy and keep your account safe from cyberbullies.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hiding_offensive_comments\"><\/span>Hiding offensive comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to stop your followers from leaving unsettling comments, you may be wondering how to hide offensive comments on Instagram. The social network is vast and offers several tools to hide offensive comments. To turn the feature on, navigate to your profile page and tap the display picture at the bottom-right corner. From there, you can go to Settings &gt; Privacy and select Hide Offending Comments. You can also select the most-reported words.<\/p>\n<p>The next step is to update the app. Then, you can head to the settings menu and select &#8220;Privacy&#8221; under &#8220;Comments.&#8221; Scroll down to &#8220;Replies&#8221; and click on the filter tool. You can also toggle the option &#8220;Hide Offensive Comments&#8221; to block inappropriate comments. Note that the default filter for comments only works with English-speaking users; other languages aren&#8217;t supported.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hiding_comments_from_certain_people\"><\/span>Hiding comments from certain people<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to keep the content of certain people&#8217;s Instagram comments private, you can use the Instagram app to hide specific words from comments. Instagram recognizes common misspellings and prevents users from seeing those words in their comments. To enable this setting, open the Settings page on your account and select Hidden Words. Toggle on Hide comments from certain people and manage the list, type in the words you want to exclude from comments, and separate them with commas.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want certain users to make inappropriate comments on your account, you can also choose to block them. This is a feature that allows you to block certain words or emojis. The system will then review all reported comments. If you choose to block a particular person&#8217;s comments, you can add more than one email address to block them from commenting on your account. This feature is useful if you get spammed by a specific person.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hiding_comments_from_users_you_dont_follow\"><\/span>Hiding comments from users you don&#8217;t follow<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are tired of seeing comments on your posts from people you don&#8217;t follow, you may want to learn how to hide comments from other Instagram users. The first step is to go to the &#8216;Comments&#8217; section of your profile and select the three dots in the top right corner. This will bring up a menu with two options: hide comment or report. Select the option you prefer.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve completed these steps, Instagram will automatically hide comments and message requests from people you don&#8217;t follow. If a person posts something offensive or inappropriate, you can hide it with the Restrict feature. By default, comments are hidden, but you can also turn off the feature if you prefer. Messages that come from people you don&#8217;t follow will appear hidden, but the user will not see them unless you report them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete Comment in Instagram If you don&#8217;t want to see a comment on your Instagram post, you can delete it!
