How to fix your favorite comments on top of an Instagram post

Thanks to a virtual pin, users will be able to show off the three most beautiful comments received under a post on Instagram

Instagram introduces Pinned Comments (image: Instagram) Instagram has implemented a new feature that allows its users to fix your favorite comments at the top of the post. Pinned Comments, like the thumbtack, allow you to virtually fix a maximum of three comments per post at the top of the thread. Instagram started testing this option in May and, given the positive feedback, decided to make it available globally.

Today we're rolling out pinned comments everywhere. 📌

For iOS users it will be sufficient to scroll the interested comment to the left to access the keys to moderate comments. Here, in addition to the classic answer, report and delete options, there will be the new pushpin icon. Android users can log in by holding down the comment concerned: at that point the icon of the pin will appear in the upper right corner.

Thanks to the virtual pin, the user can choose to fix the comment selected at the top, up to a maximum of three for each post. When a user sets a comment at the top, the author will receive a notification.

For Instagram, the tool must contribute to the defensive action against harassment, abuse and disinformation that undermine the comments of the posts on the social network. The goal is to enhance positive reactions. The thumbtack icon also offers moderators of public and official pages to enhance the comments of their followers.
