Many users asked for better comment management tools. Facebook listened to this feedback. The new options let people automatically hide certain comments. Users can filter comments containing specific words or phrases. They can also filter comments from people they don’t know. Or they can filter comments from accounts new to Facebook.
These tools are easy to use. People find them in their Facebook settings. They go to the “Privacy” section. Then they select “Comments.” The filtering options appear there. Users turn filters on or off. They add words or phrases they want hidden. The system hides these comments automatically. Only the post owner sees filtered comments initially.
Adam Mosseri leads Instagram and Facebook. He commented on the update. “People want positive conversations,” Mosseri said. “These tools help. Users decide what appears. They shape their own space.” Facebook believes this improves user experience. It encourages meaningful interaction.
