Who is allowed to comment on Facebook post or not? Here’s how to control it.
On Facebook, you can control your posts in public (everyone can see), friends (only friends can see), certain friends can only see or you can see only yourself. Now you can control who gets to comment on your published posts.
Most of the time when a post goes viral, unnecessary and unwanted comments comes. Now this new comment control feature will prevent such comments to some extent.
This feature will be very useful when you want only friends and relatives to be able to comment on any of your posts or no one can comment on any post.
