Ever felt like your Instagram or Facebook comments and replies have exploded like fireworks? Sometimes, it's more explosive than you'd prefer. 🎆

And some comments are so mean, you wish they'd never seen the light of day...

Good news! With NapoleonCat Auto-moderation, you've got an ace up your sleeve: comment auto-removal or auto-hide.


How it works

☝️ When you disable comments directly on Facebook or Instagram, the comment section is gone.

💨 With NapoleonCat's auto-removal or auto-hide, folks can still leave comments, but those comments will vanish in an instant.

💬 You can use auto-deleting and auto-hiding with organic comments, ad comments, comments on specific posts, and more.

One thing to keep in mind: auto-deleting or hiding comments can be handy when dealing with trolls or spam.

However, for regular product promotions, it could seem a bit suspicious!

🟢 If you want to, you can unhide the auto-hidden comments in the Social Inbox.

🔴 With auto-deleting comments, though, it's a one-way ticket. You can't undo it. Tread carefully!


Auto-delete or hide comments

To auto-delete or auto-hide comments with the Auto-moderation in NapoleonCat, just follow these simple steps:

  1. Create a new Auto-moderation rule or tweak an existing one

  2. Choose your platform - Facebook, Instagram, or Instagram ads - and the social media profile(s) you want the rule to work on. (a)

    Then, pick the type of message (such as organic comments, ad comments, or comments for a specific post). (b)

    And set the condition to "All". (c) 👇
