An Instagram account holder can now like the other users’ comments on posts, block offensive and spam comments automatically. After updated to the latest version of the app, you will be able to see a small 'heart' symbol next to each comment that can be used to 'like' a post.

How to switch off comments on posts

You can switch off comments on posts either before you post, or after the post.
To do before the post, upload a photo or video in the standard way, where you should add filters, edit, tag people, add a location, and so on. Under the the list of external platforms on the final share page, you can see an 'Advanced sharing' option. Choose this menu to enable 'Turn off comments'.
