Hush the Chatter: Removing Comments From Social Media Feeds

Almost everyone loves people leaving comments on their Facebook posts. However, the comments section could get hijacked by trolls, with offensive comments, or by spammers, littering the section with unsolicited ads. In any such case, you’ll want to regain control of your post.

Let’s find out how you can disable and manage the comment section of your Facebook post when it becomes necessary.

Things to Know About Turning Off Comments on Facebook

Facebook limits what control you have over your personal posts. Because of this, you cannot fully disable comments on your Facebook posts. But you can limit who can comment on your posts.

However, in a Facebook group where you are an admin, Facebook allows you to completely turn off comments on a post.

How to Manage Comments on Your Personal Facebook Posts

You can choose between using the Facebook mobile app on your phone or its web version on a PC to manage comments on your profile posts. This guide will show you how to do using both versions.

Take Control of the Comment Section on Your Facebook Posts

Getting multiple opinions on an issue can be a good thing. However, if you’re only sharing personal content, you may want to limit the ability to use the comment section to just those you’re close to.

A similar rule applies to groups, if you’re not sharing something that requires input from other members, you can simply turn off commenting on the post with the steps shared above.
