Instagram comments just got a lot more exclusive

The Facebook owned social media; Instagram is trying to make its app a nicer place.

The company is updating its app with a new feature that allows you to control who is able to comment on your posts. It’s also adding better comment filtering, new mental health resources, and new “kindness” stickers.

All of the changes are meant to “keep Instagram a safe and positive place for self-expression,” the company said in a blog post, noting that the platform is now 800 million users strong.

By far the biggest news, for instagram lovers, are new comment controls. Now, users who have public-facing accounts will have much more control to allowing or disallowing comment on their posts.

Previously, Instagram’s options were not better: you either had to allow comments from everyone or disable comments altogether. Now, the app’s posting options became more specific allowing users to limit comments to accounts you follow, your followers, or a combination of the two.

You can also opt to block comments only from specific accounts, which should help curb some harassment on the service.

Additionally, Instagram is working on its filtering system, which automatically blocks abusive comments and spam, to more languages. Now the feature is available to the app’s Arabic, French, German, and Portuguese-speaking users.

The company is also updating its mental health resources with a new anonymous reporting feature for live video. The new feature allows users to report when a broadcaster looks like they may need outside support. They’ll then see a message with links to resources, including a helpline. After all, we’ve entered the era of Artificial Intelligence.

Finally, Instagram will, over the next few months, introduce a set of “kindness” stickers aimed at encouraging users to post positive comments.

The updates come as the app’s user base passed the 800 million user mark and is still growing faster than ever, according to the company.

Instagram has previously come under concern for not doing enough to stop harassment and abuse on its platform, which is why it started to automate much of its filtering earlier this year. Let’s see how Instagram surprises its users with continuous updates.
