Pinning a Comment on Instagram — The How-to’s

Pinning comments on Instagram is such a nifty feature that most users take advantage of it for promotion purposes.

But, Instagram originally designed the pinned comments feature to spread more positivity in light of the rising cyberbullying incidents.

So, if you find yourself in a situation where you want to see positive comments first, pinning those comments is your best arsenal.

To get started with the task, make sure you already have an Instagram account. 

After which, follow the next steps I’ll enumerate below:

Step 1: Open the Instagram app on your mobile device.

Once you’re into your account, tap your profile picture found at the lower right of your phone’s screen.

Step 2: On your profile page, scroll down and find the post you want to select a comment to pin.

Once you find that particular post, tap it to open up the comments section.

Step 3: Skim through the comments of the post you opened and search for that comment you want to pin.

Once you find it, long press on that comment.

Step 4: After long-pressing the comment you want to pin, you’ll see a menu appear on top of the said comment.

You’ll find three options in the said menu. But, since you want to pin that comment, tap the “Pin comment” button which takes the shape of a thumbtack.

Once you’re done pressing the “Pin comment” button, you’ll automatically see the said comment at the top of your comment thread.

Step 5: Now, if you want to pin more comments, look for two more in the thread and repeat Steps 3 and 4. 

However, do note that you can only pin up to 3 comments on a particular Instagram post.

Hence, you should choose wisely what comment you want to pin.

So, are you now ready to try out pinning comments on your Instagram posts?

If not, then you might want to add your location to your Instagram bio or reorder your Instagram highlights while you’re mulling over whether to pin comments or not.
