But for the group posts and if you are a group admin and you want to turn off commenting on a specific post, here’s what you need to do:
- Open the Facebook app or the social media platform’s web interface.
- From your Feed, click Groups in the left menu and select your group.
- If you don’t see Groups, click the See More option to see the group.
- Now, go to the post you want to turn off comments for.
- Next click the three dots and then select Turn off commenting.
While this meta-owned social media platform doesn’t allow users to restrict comments on personal posts. What users can do instead is to add the Facebook friend in a Restricted List.
Now, adding a friend in the restricted list will enable them to see the information that is available publicly, but not the one that has been shared only with the friends on the platform.
“When you add someone to your Restricted list, you’ll still be friends with them on Facebook, but they’ll only be able to see your public information (example: your posts and profile info you choose to make public) and posts you tag them in,” said Facebook.
To add people to the Restricted List on Facebook: Open Facebook and go to the profile of the friend whom you want to add to the restricted list. Now click at the top of their profiles. Select Edit Friend List. Select Restricted.
