WHAT ARE INSTAGRAM COMMENTS?
The social networking platform has the tendency for people to comment on the post whatsoever they feel about a certain post whether it’s public or private.
A comment goes directly on the post and is visible to the public and the followers, unlike, the direct messages which goes straight into the inbox and are private to the user.
To make a comment there is a speech bubble sign made under every post, between the middle of two other signs that represent a heart shaped sign to like a picture and other being and arrow sign to share it with someone you might like to do so.
HOW TO PIN INSTAGRAM COMMENTS?
Instagram pinned comments feature is now available. The company states it will help users in structuring the conversation around their posts.
Instagram has the feature to roll out pinned comments, which allows users to pin up to three comments on the top of the posts.
By doing this, company believes it may help the users to control the tone of responses on a post, on the same time to regulate the negative and abusive comments.
The announcement of pinned comments was made back in July 2022 on twitter by the company, to do the same one needs to update the app on their respective phones either it’s android or iOS.
To pin the comments, the comment just have to be swiped from right to left. On doing so, new options like replying back, reporting and delete the comment may pop up.
Now, a new icon of pushpin has also been added to the list and just by simply pressing it the comments shall be pinned to the top.
To recall, Instagram started testing the pinned comments tool back in May as a tool to combat cyber-bullying. During the same time, it was testing other cyber-bullying combat features like the ability for users to delete comments in bulk and more. The bulk comments deleting option is already available to users.
WHY ARE INSTAGRAM COMMENTS SO IMPORTANT?
Comments are the simple replies to people’s posts not in private but in public.
Everyone is able to see what other person feels about a certain post.
There are many benefits of comments on the posts…
1. Comments are a great customer service tool.
Comments are made to make enquiries about the post or to appreciate in one or another way.
But, the comments asked as a question are more useful as replying to them makes it easier for the commenter and the other people having the same query gets the answer in the same comment.
Buying Instagram followers may seem like a way to make your brand look more reputable (but trust us, it doesn’t work in the long run). And bot followers can’t comment on your posts the same way real people can.
A user that has 17 thousand followers but only 2 or 3 comments on each of their posts doesn’t seem as authentic as a user who has one thousand followers and 20-25 comments on each post.
In other words, don’t buy comments. Consistently receiving high-quality comments from real Instagram users will do more for your account than any number of comments from bots.
2. Comments build community.
Comments are the only way that your followers can communicate with you publically on Instagram, which can encourage more engagement overall.
3. Comments are the ranking signals for Instagram algorithm.
The Instagram algorithm is a complex or somewhat mysterious beast.
Comments are one of the many factors that contribute to how often your posts are seen.
More comments means more eyes on your brand that leads to more followers, and so on.
