Facebook Adds New Tool to Control Comments on Posts

(Facebook Adds Feature to Restrict Comments)

Facebook now gives users more power over comments. The company announced a new feature today. This feature lets people limit who can comment on their public posts. Facebook calls this tool “Comment Controls.”

People choose who can comment. They pick from options. Options include everyone, friends, or only profiles mentioned in the post. This helps manage interactions. It aims to reduce unwanted comments.

The setting appears when someone makes a new public post. Users find it below the post text box. They click a menu to select their preference. The choice applies only to that specific post. Users can change it later too.

Facebook says this responds to user requests. Many people wanted better ways to manage their posts. Some face harassment or spam comments. This tool helps address that. It gives people more control over their experience.

The feature is available globally. It works on the Facebook app for Android and iOS. It also works on the Facebook website. Facebook plans to add it to more platforms soon. The rollout starts today. All users should have access in the coming days.
