FAQs

Why does Instagram limit comments?

If you mention more than five users in your comment on Instagram, it’s a common reason for your comment to be blocked. Instagram allows you to tag up to five accounts, but if you tag more, your comment may be considered spam. When your comment is flagged as spam, it can block your comments.

Can I temporarily limit someone from commenting on my posts?

Yes, if you’re facing harassment on Instagram and want to avoid unwanted comments and messages from multiple accounts, you can temporarily limit them.
