How To Bulk Delete Bullying Comments In Instagram

Instagram has recently been updated with a series of new features that target online bullying on its platform. The app now allows account holders to bulk delete negative comments. More, you can now also easily control the user groups that are allowed to tag or mention your account in comments, captions and Stories. This is an additional filter for eliminating unwanted interactions, allowing you to be permissive as up to today or only permit people that you follow to tag you. You can go to the extreme and restrict tagging completely.

The Facebook-owned social media app also announced the future release of the Pinned comments feature. This will allow users to provide a better exposure to quality reactions to their posts. To enable all the above mentioned changes on your iPhone you have to update to the latest version of Instagram.
