Instagram is giving it’s users more control to get the comments experience they desire.
Recently they launched the ability to filter comments based on keywords to give more control on avoiding those negative or spam comments. Now they just introduced a new feature to allow you to totally switch off comments on a post. This feature gives you an option either you want people to comment or not comment on your posts.
We’ll soon add a way to turn off comments on any post. Sometimes there may be moments when you want to let your post stand on its own. Previously this was only available for a small number of accounts. In a few weeks, it will be available for everyone. Tap “Advanced Settings” before you post and then select “Turn Off Commenting.” You can also tap the … menu any time after posting to turn commenting back on.
Another cool feature added to the platform is the ability to like comments by tapping a heart icon next to any comment. ‘Liking lets you show support and encourages positivity throughout the community.’
Below are screenshots to show you how the feature works, make sure to update to the latest version of Instagram to see if the feature is available yet.
