Meta-owned Instagram tests 'dislike' button for comments, certain social media users criticise

| @indiablooms | Feb 15, 2025, at 09:38 am

The meta-owned photo-sharing platform Instagram has started testing a new feature that will allow users to dislike comments.

A Meta spokesperson told The New York Post that the company is “working on ways to help people better control their Instagram experience and what they’re seeing on the app.”

“We’re testing a new button next to each comment on a Reel or Feed post for people to privately signal they don’t feel good about that particular comment or find it relevant, with a small group of people to start,” the spokesperson said.

However, several internet users have criticised the new button introduced by Meta.

One internet user said: "Dislike has a negative condemnation to it, and I like to live in a positive mindset. If you don't agree or dislike something, keep scrolling. A dislike button would only encourage negativity.."

"Another wrote: "You can now downvote/dislike comments on instagram, whaaatwhy?"

Another said: "Yall done gave the wrong weapon to the right individuals"
