Spam comments typically include emojis, commercial/promotional offers and links to other Instagram accounts. They can be a major security risk to your followers, as clicking on these links may breach personal information on their devices or download malware.

Using the Instagram Spam Comment Filter allows you to block specific accounts from accessing your comments by entering their usernames in the “Block commenters” field of the settings menu. You can also add specific words and phrases in the “Manage custom words and phrases” field, which will filter out comments that contain them. This is a great way to block spam comments that include phrases like “Send pic” and “DM it”. It is important to note, however, that blocking these accounts will prevent them from being able to comment on your stories or photos and they will not be able to see their own comments either.
