Why deactivate comments?

Not every post on Instagram is suitable for discussions in the comments. Some content is meant to simply inform or be published without interaction. For this purpose, Swat.io gives you the option to specifically deactivate comments on Instagram posts.

Deactivating comments in Swat.io

With the feature for deactivating commenting, you can decide whether comments should be allowed when creating a new Instagram post:

  • Open a post in the Publisher and go to the advanced settings at the bottom of the Swat.io composer;

  • There you’ll find the option “Deactivate comments”;

  • Activate the button if you don’t want comments to be allowed under your post.

Turning on commenting after publication

If you want to re-enable commenting on a certain post - once a post has been published - this is only possible in the corresponding ticket in Swat.io (when Swat.io Inbox is activated) or directly on Instagram in the options of the respective post.
