How to Restrict Instagram Comments to a Post or Person

Although Instagram is one of the best social networks today, not always the experience of some people is good in applications like that. This is mainly due to the interaction with other users, since it has little to do with the operation of the app as such.

By this we mean that we know that some of you have had a bad time thanks to the fact that in the social network Instagram (or even in any other social network) someone makes a rude comment, liar or simply with malicious intent.

Without a doubt, this is something that no one should go through, and that is precisely why Instagram allows we restrict the comments that they can do to us in our publications. If you suffer from the problem that we discussed above or you simply want to restrict the comments on your Instagram account, well know that we will comment on it later.

What does it mean for a post to have ‘limited comments’?

When a publication has limited comments on Instagram, it can be due to several options. Starting because the owner of the post does not allow certain words to be commented, or because certain people cannot comment either.

Even Instagram allows comments to be completely disabled, which means that no one can comment on anything on the post.

How can you restrict commenting on a person on your post?

Here you have basically two options; Restrict one person to comment on all or just one of your posts. In case only you want to prevent the person from commenting on one of your post, the first thing you should do is log into your account and go to the post comment settings.

To enter the comments settings you must go to your Instagram profile, look for the post in question and enter the comments and click on the 3 vertical points above. You must click on the option “Choose words to hide”, and then you have to enter where it says “Allow comments from …”. There you can choose if you want your followers or the people who follow to comment on you.

If what you want is to block a specific person from commenting on you, what you should do is enter the second option that says “Block comments from …” When you’re there, just look for the person’s username and hit “Block.”

How long does the block last when Instagram limits you from being able to comment?

The blocking to comment on Instagram can be temporary or permanent. When we talk about a temporary lock It is because the application has only restricted you for a certain time to comment on publications, normally this restriction is accompanied by others such as not being able to like or not being able to upload photos or videos.

On the other hand, when the block is permanent, it means that you will never be able to comment on Instagram again, or like or post or anything.

With temporary locks time can range from 2 hours to 2 weeks, and that will depend solely on the type of offense you have committed.

What can you do if it is not enough to limit the comments of one person?

If limiting the comments of your Instagram post is not enough to stop you from receiving harassment, you can look for other alternatives to minimize that situation or to eliminate it outright.

How to file a complaint on Instagram?

The best thing you can do if restricting comments on Instagram isn’t enough is Report what people comment on your posts. To do that, you simply have to select the comment in question and click on the exclamation point. Then select the option to report, choose the reason for your report and that’s it.

How to block someone?

If after having restricted the comments and denounced them it is still not enough to stop the bad times, the option that you have is block the user who is harassing you.

To block a person on Instagram you just have to enter their profile, click on the 3 vertical dots and select the “Block” option. There you must choose between the option of only blocking that person’s account, or blocking that person and those he creates in the future.
