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

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.

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

πŸ’¬ 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.

πŸ”΄ 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) πŸ‘‡
