How to Turn Off Comments on Facebook Post (Quick & Easy Guide)

Facebook is one of the most famous social media platforms that businesses use for marketing and that individuals use to entertain themselves. While using Facebook, many people can interact by commenting on Facebook posts.

At the same time, there are some comments that you don’t want to be on your posts, whether business or personal. Therefore, I’ve compiled a guide on how to turn off the comments on Facebook post from specific persons.

Are you interested in learning how? If so, then keep reading because you will get to know how to tackle hate comments on your Facebook profile for a better Facebook experience.

The answer is obvious: yes, you can turn off the comments on Facebook to avoid hate comments on your posts. While Facebook does not allow you to turn the comments off on your posts completely, you can control the people who can comment.

For example, you can limit your comments to only friends, friends of friends, or some specific persons. Furthermore, on a Facebook group or page, you can disable comments completely on specific posts.

This is done to avoid any discussion and to avoid controversy. So, since there is no complete turn-off option for comments, Facebook still has a large control over managing the comments to a large extent.

Here are the completely discussed steps below that can be followed by a user to limit the comments on a Facebook personal post. The process is explained below for both mobile and desktop.

Facebook also gives influencers a great opportunity to get their brand social on Facebook. Hence, the direct commenting option makes it very easy for them to give their feedback within seconds.

But, there can be haters too for every brand or business on the same platform, to avoid negative comments from their side, it is now set up to turn the comments off for these posts.

So, to control commenting, there are two ways to be followed:

• Turn off the comments for each post manually
• Limit the comments with Facebook moderation

Let’s have the detailed process of both methods. 

Turn Off the Comments for Each Post Manually

There are some very simple steps to be followed that are very similar to the personal account. Have a look at the steps below:

1. Visit the Facebook page.
2. Find the relevant post for which you have to turn off the comments
3. Click on the three dots for the menu 
4. Click on the “Who can comment on your post?”
5. Select the commenting restriction according to the available options. 

Turn off the Comments with Facebook Moderation

Facebook moderation is a built-in tool that helps in getting rid of unwanted comments. Here is a list of a few brief steps to block the Facebook post comments. 

1. Log in to Facebook
2. Go to the Facebook page
3. Go to the menu and navigate to privacy and settings
4. Find the Audience and visibility option here, and click the Followers and Public content under the prior option
5. Turn on the “Hide posts and comments with profanity“

This option lets you block comments by filtering the comments with specific words.

What if someone commented negatively on your posts? Don’t worry, here is a solution to this. You can delete these comments. This is not an ideal method, but removing all unnecessary comments from your postings is still useful. 

So, to delete the comment, I will guide you with the steps to be followed. Come with me and follow the steps below:

1. Go to the post that has faced the unwanted comments. 
2. Find the comments that you want to remove permanently 
3. Click on the three dots on the right side of the comment 
4. After clicking, there will be the option to Delete Comment or Hide Comment. 
5. Choose any option, and the comment will disappear from the section.

I may need to clarify that using Facebook is an open source for interacting with everyone, especially in the commenting section. It is like an online written debate with many people to get a solution to a problem or just juicing the debate.

But, if you feel that someone is commenting on your posts that you don’t want to be there, you can control these by blocking comments. This is an easy process that controls your audience interaction.
