Instagram has rolled out a number of new features. From now on you can delete comments and make sure that not everyone can tag you. That’s how you do it.
Delete comments in Instagram
The main purpose of the functions is to combat bullying and annoying discussions. Therefore, it is possible to delete multiple comments under a post at once. To delete multiple comments at once in Instagram, follow the next steps:
- First open the post with the comments of which you want to delete some;
- Tap the three dots at the top;
- Choose ‘Manage Comments’;
- Select up to 25 comments you want to delete;
- Tap ‘Delete’ at the bottom left.
It is even possible to block or limit multiple accounts in this way. Then select the comments from these accounts and tap ‘More options’. You can then choose to block or limit these accounts.
Set who you can tag
You can now also set who you can tag in an Instagram Story or in a comment. You do that as follows:
- Tap your profile and then tap the menu in the top right corner;
- Open ‘Settings’;
- Tap on ‘Privacy’;
- Under ‘Tags’ and ‘Mentions’ you can now choose whether everyone can tag you, only people you follow, or no one at all.
More about Instagram
Instagram is busy fighting bullying on the social media platform. For example, it is already possible to limit comments and even Instagram profiles. That way you don’t have to block users, but they are invisible on your profile.
Due to the current home isolation situation, Instagram has also added a function to watch photos together with friends. Finished with Instagram for a while? It is also possible to temporarily disable your profile.
