Instagram is one of the most used social networks by users and that takes on more and more prominence among them. The social network that began as a wall on which photos accompanied by comments were hung has evolved to be what it is today. Instagram has incorporated filters , 24-hour stories , superzoom , surveys , live videos and lots of new features, but comments on Instagram images were from the beginning on the social network..
If it is true that this is not usually the case, but sometimes it can happen that a user with bad intentions makes comments in our photos of bad taste or unfortunate that we do not want to have there. You do not have to delete the photo to delete this since Instagram gives you the option to deactivate the comments within a photo or delete them and today in TechnoWikis we will explain how it is done:
