You can now mute comments from certain people on Instagram

Instagram announced that they are doing another new function on October 3rd. Instagram is trying lots of new function past few months such as hide like counts, anti-bully function, and this time they are doing another anti-bully related function.

Mute comments

The new function from Instagram is another “restrict” mute function which is you can now mute comments from certain people that you select. You know there are always haters who leave negative comments.. but now you don’t even have to see these negative comments, you can just tap mute and you’re free from negativity. This function is now available world wide .

Details:

  • Go to your account and tap one of your post.
  • If you see negative comment, tap the comment and tap “restrict @username”

  • And you’ll have to confirm if you’d like to restrict that person

  • Now you don’t see negative comment(s) from your comment section

This is shadow ban feature, so the person you restricted will not know if you restrict them or not, and without blocking them, you can secretly choose not to see unnecessary negativity from 3rd person.

And if you restricted comments from certain people, you will not receive notification and you will not see the comment unless you go to “see comments from restricted account”. Same for DM, you’ll not receive notification and DM from restricted users will appear in request section automatically.

Also Instagram will not let the restricted user know if you’re online or not.

If you decided to unrestrict the person, you can at anytime on setting and you’ll start receive all the notifications again.

People who experienced bully at young age, they tend not to block ir report the bullies so Instagram thought that shadow ban is the best solution for bully and I hope this function helps people who are facing
