Instagram users may soon dislike comments secretly
If you saw a new button next to the like button in the comments section of Instagram for a short while, your eyes didn’t deceive you. Instagram is testing the dislike button, which will allow users to dislike certain comments without anyone knowing you did so.
Threads user @crystalotv shared a screenshot on the platform Thursday evening showing the down arrow button sitting next to the like button in the comments section of her recent post. Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, announced the test in a Threads post on Friday, saying it’s being done in an effort to make the comments section of the multimedia-sharing platform more . He said the dislike button won’t keep track of how many people disliked a comment, as no one will know you disliked it in the first place, whether it’s the user who made that comment or the users reading and replying to said comment. However, disliked comments may eventually be downranked.
