From there you can edit and add to your story or send it via Direct.

  • Protecting users from Bullying Comments

Instagram will filter bullying comments intended to harass or upset people in the Instagram community. Last year the company announced offensive comment filter, which automatically hides toxic and divisive comments, particularly those aimed at at-risk groups. This new filter hides comments containing attacks on a person’s appearance or character, as well as threats to a person’s well-being or health. The bullying filter is now available and can be disabled in the Comment Controls center in the app. The new filter will also alert us to repeated problems so we can take action.
