Instagram Now Lets You Edit Comments for Up to 15 Minutes
Instagram today implemented a small but useful change, allowing Instagram users to edit their comments for up to 15 minutes after writing the initial comment. The Meta-owned social media site has long supported editing an Instagram post, but comments have never been able to be updated to correct typos. Editing a comment can be done by tapping on the new "Edit" option that is displayed after a comment is posted. Comments on Instagram that have been edited will be marked with a gray edited tag, but Instagram does not allow users to see the original comment.
