How do you restrict comments on Instagram?

To restrict comments on Instagram, follow these steps:

1. **Open Instagram**: Launch the Instagram app on your mobile device.

2. **Go to Your Profile**: Tap on your profile picture or username in the bottom right corner of the screen to go to your profile.

3. **Access Post Settings**: Find the post you want to restrict comments on or create a new post. Once on the post, tap on the three dots (...) in the top right corner of the post.

4. **Select "Edit"**: Tap on "Edit" from the options that appear.

5. **Toggle Comment Settings**: Scroll down to the "Advanced Settings" section and tap on "Turn Off Comments" to restrict comments on the post.

6. **Confirm**: Instagram will prompt you to confirm that you want to turn off comments on the post. Tap on "Turn Off Comments" again to confirm.

Alternatively, if you want to restrict comments on all future posts by default, you can enable the "Restrict Comments" feature in your account settings:

1. **Go to Your Profile**: Tap on your profile picture or username in the bottom right corner of the screen to go to your profile.

2. **Access Account Settings**: Tap on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner to access the settings. Then, tap on "Settings."

3. **Navigate to Privacy Settings**: Tap on "Privacy" and then tap on "Comments."

4. **Enable "Restrict Comments"**: Toggle the switch next to "Restrict Comments" to enable the feature.

By following these steps, you can restrict comments on individual posts or enable the "Restrict Comments" feature to automatically restrict comments on all future posts. This can be useful for managing comments and controlling the conversation on your Instagram posts.
