About

Copy an Inrō template that hides hateful comments on all your Instagram posts. It only hides them: nothing is deleted and no one is blocked.

Copy the template, pick a folder and turn it on. Inrō's AI checks each comment on your posts against the filter "All hateful and spam comments". The Hide comment step hides a flagged one from your post, and you can still read it in the post's hidden comments section. A second step adds the commenter to a folder.

What the template does, step by step

1. Someone comments on one of your posts

The template watches all your posts, including the ones you publish later, so there is no trigger date to reset. It covers comments on feed posts and reels.

There is nothing to type. The AI reads each comment, so you do not build a keyword list or keep one up to date. A comment you write on your own post never starts the flow.

2. The comment is hidden

The first step is Hide comment. Inrō uses Instagram's hide, which lets an app hide a comment on the account's own posts (Meta for Developers, checked 23 October 2026). The comment disappears from public view on your post, and you can still read it in the post's hidden comments section.

The flow has no message and no wait. Nothing is sent to the commenter.

3. The commenter goes in a folder

The second step is Add contact to folder(s). The step is set to add the commenter to one folder, "Moderation: hidden". A folder groups contacts in your Inrō inbox and CRM. It holds the person, not the comment.

The template has no limit per person: the filter runs on every comment, even when the same person writes several.

What the template does not do

It hides, nothing more. It never deletes a comment and never blocks or restricts a person.
It covers posts and reels. Comments made during a Live belong to a separate trigger, not to this template.
It sends no message. The commenter gets no reply and no DM. To send a DM to people who comment, see Inrō's comment to DM feature.
It leaves your own comments alone. Anything you write under your posts stays visible.

Copy it and check three settings

The template arrives in your Inrō account turned off. There is no keyword, message or link to replace. Check three things, then turn it on:

The folder. Open the Add contact to folder(s) step. It points at a folder from the account that built the template, so pick one of your own or create one, for example "Moderation: hidden".
The posts. The trigger is set to "All posts". Keep it, or pick the posts you want watched.
Turn it on, then look. After a day or two, open the hidden comments section of one post and the folder you chose. The first shows what was hidden, the second shows whether commenters are being added.

Because the template watches all posts, you set it up once. New posts are covered too.

Best tips for your scenario

Look at the hidden comments every few weeks. The AI filter is good but not perfect, so it can miss a comment or hide one it should have left up. A look at the post's hidden comments section shows both.
Answer questions and criticism yourself, or with a second template. This one targets hateful comments, so honest questions and complaints are yours to answer. The reply to comments with AI template skips hateful comments, so the two do not overlap.
Open the folder now and then. Open "Moderation: hidden" and read the names. If a name appears more than once, that person keeps coming back.
Thank the people you want to hear from. Run the thank fans who love your posts template next to this one, so kind comments get an answer while hateful ones go out of sight. During a giveaway, the public thread under the post is what people read, so keep this template on for it next to your giveaway template.

FAQ

Does it delete comments or block people?

No. The template hides a comment and adds the commenter to a folder. It never deletes a comment and never blocks or restricts a person. Instagram treats hiding and deleting as two separate actions (Meta for Developers, checked 23 October 2026), and this template only uses the first.

Where do the hidden comments go?

They are hidden from public view on your post, and you can still read them in the post's hidden comments section. A second step, Add contact to folder(s), is set to add the commenter to the folder you pick. Check on a test that the folder fills.

Do I need a keyword list?

No. The AI decides which comments match the filter "All hateful and spam comments", so there is nothing to type and nothing to update. The AI is good but not perfect, so check the hidden comments every few weeks.
