What is the way to give a ‘Pin Comment’ correctly?
The first thing you should know is that Instagram allows you to set up to three comments on each publication you make, now if you want to set comments from a live broadcast, only one comment per live is allowed. By setting the comments, they will always be shown first when someone enters your publication.
Instagram will only allow you to post comments on your own publications, this option is not valid when commenting on someone else’s publication, remember that this social network allows you to block comments and messages that you consider inappropriate or that affect the sensitivity of your followers.
From an Android or iOS Smartphone
