However, you can pin important comments (whether yours or those of your followers) on your posts to make them stand out. In this article, we will show you how to pin comments on Instagram easily.
If you pin a comment, it will appear at the top of your comment section so people can see it and give it the focus it deserves. Whether you’re a content creator looking to engage your followers, this feature comes in handy.

How to pin comments on IG Live
In recent years, Instagram allows users to pin comments on Instagram Live. Pinning a comment will highlight a specific comment made by a viewer or host during a live broadcast.
When a comment is pinned, it stays at the top, even if a new comment is added. Let’s start with the steps.

Step 2: It will show your phone gallery. From the bottom option, swipe to Live.
Step 3: [Optional] Tap the Title icon on the left to add a title. You can also select a Broadcast audience by tapping the icon below the Title icon.
Step 4: Finally, click on the Live button to start a Live session.
Step 5: Long press a comment you want to pin and from the option select Pin Comment.

That’s it, you’ve successfully pinned a comment to your Instagram Live. If you want to delete a pinned comment, follow the same steps and select Unpin Comment.
