It is worth highlighting the power given to the user to manage the comments that are poured on their photos. Thus, it is not only possible to eliminate those that we do not like, but it is also possible to report them as spam to the authorities of Instagram In addition, the main screen of the application has been modified , where the images of all the accounts we follow are collected.
