On Thursday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@instagram\/post\/DW6tJmFlv5U?xmt=AQF04qzLxm8d7wWpmUb3w2ND-I7D-2aP2TLPFl-R1EIilg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram announced<\/a> that users can now edit their comments within 15 minutes of posting them, which should hopefully give you ample time to clean up any errors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">You can make as many edits as you like while that 15-minute period is in effect, Meta spokesperson Nicole Rechtszaid tells The Verge. If you want to edit one of your comments, just tap the \u201cEdit\u201d text that shows up after you add a comment to a post. (I\u2019m seeing the feature after making a couple test comments on the iOS app.) Any edited comments will have an \u201cEdited\u201d message in gray next to them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The feature has been in testing with some users <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@mattnavarra\/post\/DV0gpwvinha\/instagram-is-finally-letting-users-edit-comments-on-posts-edited-comments-show\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">since March<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you make a mistake in an Instagram comment, you can now finally fix it without having to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":390561,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[61,542,60,1226,43,216,80],"class_list":{"0":"post-390560","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-instagram","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-meta","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-tech","14":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=390560"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390560\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/390561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=390560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=390560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=390560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
