How to disable comments on your Facebook wall/profile [January 2022]

Unfortunately, Facebook doesn’t allow you to disable comments on your profile posts, but you can get creative and take control of your privacy and content, at least to some extent. In other words, you can adjust your privacy settings to allow Just friends either Friends of friends rather Public to access and comment on your posts. Where and how is another story. Here’s how to adjust comment privacy on your Facebook posts.

Manage comments on a particular account

Let’s first review your options for managing comments for a particular account. If someone is bothering you, but you would like to keep them as a friend, follow the instructions below.

Edit Facebook privacy settings

By editing Facebook’s privacy settings as to who can see your posts, you essentially limit commenting capabilities to those you allow to see your posts and tags.

1. To get started, open Facebook on desktop or mobile device and log in to your account.
   
2. Once you are logged in, click on the drop down arrow in the top right section and select Settings and privacy -> Settings.
   
3. From there, you’ll want to change your privacy settings. You can choose who sees your future posts and can review tags before they are published to your Facebook profile/home page.
   

Edit your activity settings

Now that you know how to limit who on Facebook can access your tagged posts and photos, it’s time to adjust the privacy settings for inpidual posts.

1. Locate the post you want to edit the privacy on. Tap on the horizontal ellipsis (three horizontal dots) in the upper right corner of the selected post.
   
2. Choose Edit audience.
   
3. Choose from Friends, Friends except…, specific friends, Habiteither Intimate friends.

He Friends except... option allows you to hide your post from selected Facebook users, meaning you won’t see their comments either. The same result also applies to the Specific friends, Intimate friends, and Habit options.

At this point, you’ve limited who can view future posts and tags and set viewing exclusions for specific posts that already exist. Now is the time to reduce the comments using an indirect alternative.

Use text filters to control Facebook comments

You may not have the ability to turn off Facebook comments, but you can use the text filter to reduce them. Instead of restricting comments that contain unwanted words like “stupid”, “idiot”, “idiot” or others that we can’t mention here, you can insert common words to restrict a larger number of comments.

Facebook already filters out select words, but there are many more you can hide. Words like “a”, “the”, “and”, “we”, “you” and many others are used so much that most comments will not appear on your posts. The only drawback to this method is that the person posting the comment still sees it and so do their friends.

Here’s how to restrict comments based on specific words.

1. On your profile page, click drop down arrow at the top right and choose Settings & Privacy.
2. Click on Settings from the new drop-down list.
3. Choose Profile and labeling in the settings menu on the left.
   
4. Click on the Edit option to the right of Hide comments that contain certain words from your profile.
   
5. Click on Hide comments that contain certain words from your profile, then type the marked words in the text box.
   
6. Optional: Click Show variations if you want to add more similar words for better filtering. Note that Facebook already excludes variations of related words, such as tree, TREE, tr33, tree, tree, and #tree.
   
7. Once you have finished entering your options, click Save.

Set Facebook to review tags before posting to your timeline

Another cool trick you can do to limit/remove comments on your profile is to request approval for any tagged posts. That way you can review them first and approve or reject them. By choice Deny, it won’t appear on your timeline and no one on your friends list will be able to see or comment on it. Please note that any of your friends who are also friends with the person who tagged you can still comment, but they will not appear on your profile.

1. Click on the drop down arrow at the top right and select Settings and privacy.
2. Click on Settings.
3. Select Profile and labeling in the left menu.
4. Under the Reviewing section, move the slider next to Check the posts you’re tagged in… or click Edit in the same row to activate the review.
   

While none of these are official solutions, they give you more control over your personal or business profiles than you had before.

Right now, the most effective option for managing comments on your Facebook posts is to delete or hide them, whether it’s unwanted content or you simply don’t want comments. You can delete or hide any comments on posts you made, but only hide comments on posts made by others.

How to disable comments on Facebook pages and groups

Facebook has created a way to disable comments on Facebook Pages and Groups, but you must be the group’s admin or the original author.
