Instagram is a popular social media app used by millions of people around the world that allows users to share photos and videos with friends, family, and more. A user’s photo or video sharing on Instagram is displayed in a view that any follower can comment on. Now, if you are an Instagram user and you come across any comments on your posts that contain spam or offensive content, you can simply report these comments or disable them.
Inappropriate, offensive, or bullying comments are automatically filtered from Instagram posts, stories, and live videos by default. But you can always change this setting and disable comments on your posts.
Sometimes you may publish a post that you don’t want to be commented on, of course, this feature is suitable for people who don’t want to constantly receive comment notifications on their phone.
Unfortunately, there’s no way you can disable comments page-wide, and you’ll have to disable them on a post-by-post basis. But remember, when you turn off commenting, any comments that are currently on your post will be hidden.
