At Instagram, 2017–2018 · Product designArchive · Interaction prototype & comment controls

My work at Instagram explored how people participate in the feed and control the conversations around their posts. This interaction exploration brings commenting into the feed: watch the comment field appear beneath a post.

I also worked on comment controls. These screens separate three choices: what to filter, who can comment, and which accounts to block from commenting.

Instagram comment settings with offensive-comment and keyword filters — **Filter comments**Hide offensive comments or choose specific words and phrases to filter.

Choosing who can comment: everyone, followers, or people you follow — **Choose who can comment**Allow everyone, people you follow, your followers, or both groups.

Searching for accounts to block from commenting — **Block specific accounts**Find individual accounts and block them from adding new comments to your posts.
