How to Delete Comments on Instagram
Sharing fun moments or memories on social media is always enjoyable, and Instagram has become a top choice for many. Whether it's personal updates or showcasing your work, Instagram has become a go-to platform.
However, not every reaction will be positive. Sometimes, our posts attract negative comments or even spam, often from bots, which can be annoying.
Luckily, Instagram lets you manage the comments on your posts to maintain a pleasant environment. Here’s a straightforward guide on how to remove unwanted comments.
How to Delete Other People’s Comments on Instagram
To keep your comments section clean from haters or spammy bot accounts, follow these simple steps:
- Open your Instagram account and navigate to the post with the unwanted comments.
- Long press the comment you wish to remove.
- Tap the red “Delete” option to remove the comment.
The comment will instantly vanish from your post. If you want to prevent further nuisances from the same account, consider using the “Restrict account” option.
This not only hides their comments from others unless you approve them but also prevents them from seeing when you’re active or have read their messages. Their messages will also go straight to your request inbox.
How to Delete Your Own Comments on Instagram
Deleting your own comments on Instagram is just as easy as deleting others'. This can be handy if you change your mind about a comment you’ve left or if you accidentally posted something you didn’t mean to.
If you're not sure where you've commented, finding and deleting these comments is straightforward. Here's how to do it:
- Open Instagram and go to your profile by tapping your profile picture.
- Tap the three-line menu icon in the top right corner.
- Select “Your activity” to view your Instagram actions.
- Go to the “Comments” section to see all the comments you’ve made.
- Browse through the list and find the comment you want to delete. Tap and hold the comment.
- You can select one or more comments if you want to delete multiple items.
- Once selected, tap the red “Delete” button at the bottom of the screen.
- Confirm the deletion by pressing the red “Delete” button again.
- Wait a moment for the process to complete, and your comment(s) will be removed.
These steps ensure that you can manage your interactions comfortably on Instagram. If you're concerned about privacy or unwanted feedback, consider sharing on a more private account to minimize negative comments and spam. Good luck, and enjoy a cleaner, more controlled social media experience!
