Instagram, the world’s most popular Social media platform, keeps staggering users with creative features. And not long ago, Instagram brought us a flabbergasting ability; to pin a comment. It is one of the not-so-recent, not-so-old additions to a bunch of already cool things you could do on Instagram.
Although we can see video hosting apps like TikTok gradually becoming more popular, the image-sharing app Instagram remains a firm staple in everybody’s daily social media routine.
It has been serving as a place for friends to share moments of their lives and influencers to keep their fans up to date.
What is an Instagram Comment?
Comments can change the way your post is seen. When we post photos, videos, or Reels on Instagram, the viewers can respond to them publically. More comments mean more eyes on your post, more eyes lead to more followers, and so on.
Insta’s only flaw is that you can only add 2200 characters to Instagram captions.
Have you ever felt like this was not enough? Don’t worry; you can continue your captions in the comment section. You can pin comments on Instagram to stand out and not get buried in the heap.
