Instagram comments are getting more like Facebook. 。
The company is updating its comments so users can like each other's comments on posts, the Facebook-owned company announced on Tuesday. The app is also adding the ability to turn off commenting on specific posts and remove followers from private accounts without using the block button. 。

In a blog post Tuesday, Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom said the ability to like comments helps Instagram users "show support and encourages positivity throughout the community." 。
Just as you would "like" a regular post on Instagram, you can like a comment by tapping the heart next to it. Like counts are displayed underneath the comments as well. Unlike Facebook, Instagram says "liking" a comment won't impact where it appears on a particular post, though the addition of likes certainly opens the possibility of ranked comments in the future. 。

The app is also giving users more control over commenting with the ability to disable comments on specific posts. Instagram previously had a version of this tool available but only to certain verified accounts. 。
With its new update though, any account can disable comments for a post by tapping into the new "advanced settings" menu before they post their photo or video. 。Credit: instagram 。
Finally, Instagram is adding the ability to remove a follower without blocking them -- if you have a private account. Previously, the only way to prevent someone who followed you from viewing your posts was to block them.。
If you remove someone as your follower, they won't get a notification (blocking also doesn't trigger a notification).。
The updates come after some high profile users have left Instagram over abuse. (Most notably, Justin Bieber who, last week, said "Instagram is for the devil.") 。
