Instagram Will Soon Let You Disable Comments, Like Comments, Remove Followers, More

Instagram has announced several new features coming to its app including the ability to disable comments, like comments, remove followers, and more.

Here's a look at what's new...

Comment Control
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.


In the coming weeks, we’re also adding the ability to like comments by tapping a heart icon next to any comment.

Remove Followers from Private Accounts
In the past, once you approved a follower, there was no simple way to undo that decision without blocking them. Going forward, if your account is private, you can remove followers by going to your list of followers and tapping the … menu next to any person’s name. The person will not be notified that you removed them as a follower.

Anonymous Reporting for Self-Injury Posts
From time to time, you may see friends struggling and in need of support. If you believe that someone you care about may be thinking about injuring themselves, you can report it anonymously, and we will connect your friend to organizations that offer help. We have teams working 24 hours a day, seven days a week, around the world to review these reports.


These changes will roll out in the coming weeks. You can download Instagram from the App Store for free.
