The company said that this feature is being rolled out globally and will gradually reach all users. After the new update, users can edit their comments within 15 minutes of posting. This time limit gives users a chance to correct their mistakes or improve their answers.<\/p>\n
The special thing about this feature is that Instagram has not imposed any limit on the number of edits. That means you can change your comment multiple times within 15 minutes. To edit a comment, the user has to tap on his comment, where a new Edit option will now appear. After clicking on it, a pop-up will open, in which you can change your text and save it.<\/p>\n
However, there are some limitations with this feature. Users can only edit the text portion of the comment. If a comment includes an image or other media, it cannot be edited.<\/p>\n
Write ‘Edited’<\/strong> Another important thing is that Instagram does not provide version history in this feature. This means that once a comment is edited, other users will not be able to see what was written earlier.<\/p>\n In comparison, X (formerly Twitter) also introduced the edit feature, but it is not available to all users and in some cases depends on subscription.<\/p>\n At the same time, Threads, which is a text-based platform of Instagram, already allows editing posts.<\/p>\n This new update of Instagram is being considered a big step towards improving the user experience. Now users will not need to delete comments for small mistakes, which will make conversations on the platform more seamless and effective.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Additionally, edited comments will be accompanied by a gray ‘edited’ label to let other users know that the comment has been edited.<\/p>\n
