Controlling Comments on Instagram

Reporting and getting a user banned takes time. And blocking someone doesn’t stop them from making another account to harass you. And so you can control the settings of who can or cannot comment on your post. This can help you deal with the problem temporarily until Instagram takes any action.

But at the same time restricting your audience might result in a decrease in user engagement, which is a bad thing if you have a business profile. Comment control allows you to either restrict who comments on your post or block the visibility of certain comments. Blocking through comment control allows the user to see your post and comment, but you won’t see the comment and neither will anyone else.

  1. For this, you need to click on the Settings from your profile.
  2. Under Interactions, click on ‘Comments’.
  3. In this page, you will see the options such as
  4. Allow comments from
  5. Block comments from
  6. Hide offensive comments
  7. Enable keyword filters

Choose any of these to control people’s response on your post.

And this is how you can deal with the problems that you can’t deal with by simply deleting a comment.
