Aiming to make chatting with fellow Instagrammers easy, Facebook-owned Instagram on Wednesday introduced comment threads on its platform.Henceforth, users who reply to any Instagram post will find their response automatically grouped right underneath it in a thread.<\/p>\n
\u201cComment threads help you keep track of conversations and make it easy to respond to a specific thread. This update will make your feed an even better place to share interests, get inspired and connect with others,\u201d the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The feature would be rolled out in phases to iOS and Android devices over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
The photo-focused networking site has been making improvements to the platform over the past few months.<\/p>\n
To safeguard the platform from online bullying, Instagram had in June introduced two new tools\u2014a filter to block certain offensive comments and a spam filter in nine languages.<\/p>\n
The first filter is optional that can be toggled on or off in the settings. It hides offensive or inappropriate comments from appearing on posts and in live videos.<\/p>\n
The spam filter looks for any obvious spam in comments, blocking it from users\u2019 posts and live videos.<\/p>\n
The updates were added to Instagram version 10.26 and are available for both iOS and Android.<\/p>\n
