Instagram Now Lets You Edit Comments for Up to 15 Minutes

Instagram today implemented a small but useful change, allowing Instagram users to edit their comments for up to 15 minutes after writing the initial comment.

Instagram Feature 2
The Meta-owned social media site has long supported editing an Instagram post, but comments have never been able to be updated to correct typos. Editing a comment can be done by tapping on the new "Edit" option that is displayed after a comment is posted.

Comments on Instagram that have been edited will be marked with a gray edited tag, but Instagram does not allow users to see the original comment.

Good to know.

Just kidding I deleted all Meta products years ago and have no regrets. Crazy amounts of brain rot prevented.

As much as I enjoy looking at selfies and plated food, I've managed to go on living without opening an instagram acct. 🤪

Deleted anything meta years ago. It makes one feel a lot better.

Not a bad idea. I would close Facebook except a few friend accounts. Complete slop. And Instagram is getting there (some good accounts beyond friends do exist for example I just followed an artist named Hippienorth [woodworking art. Highly recommended] . I also like weloveanimals [people who save animals; heroism]. So there’s some redeeming factors).
I heard FB marketplace is really good for buying and selling used stuff. My brother in law has had really good success on there.

I started a new Insta account for a few months strictly for learning a new language and art. The recommendations in my feed got weird and I felt like I was being steered into political BS so I closed it. I was very cognizant as to how and why I was using the new account but the algo does what the algo wants to do.

Finally. Instagram is pretty much the sole social media app I still frequent.
