A new way to filter comments by popularity, timeliness, or follower count

Instagram is rolling out expanded comment filtering tools.

But only for the popular kids: To use these tools, you must have over 100,000 followers. Oof.

If that’s you, you can now sort post comments by things like “top comment,” “newest first,” and even “follower count.”

This helps you zero in on what really matters and prioritize comments that fit what you’re going for.

It’s a small update, but it could help you reply faster to your most loyal fans or seek out interactions with verified users.

Yes, the 100,000 follower cap feels a little steep, but if you’re working with big influencers, maybe you can discuss how comments are sorted on their sponsored posts.

And who knows… maybe Instagram will roll this out to accounts with smaller follower numbers. Fingers crossed.
