This guide will walk you through the process of moderating comments on Facebook using an Android device, ensuring your posts remain engaging and respectful.

Accessing and Adjusting Comment Settings


To begin moderating comments, open the Facebook app on your Android device.
  1. Tap the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner.
  2. Select the profile or page you wish to manage.
  3. For more precise control, disable automatic comment filtering and use Moderation Assist instead.

Using Facebook’s Moderation Tools

Facebook offers two key approaches to comment moderation:


  • Disabling Comment Ranking – If you want to see comments in chronological order, go to Settings & Privacy > Followers & Public Content and turn off Comment Ranking.
  • Moderation Assist – This feature, found under Professional Dashboard > Page Settings, allows you to automatically hide comments from new accounts or those containing specific keywords.

Manually Managing Comments

For a hands-on approach to moderation:

  1. Navigate to the post where you want to manage comments.
  2. Click the Comments tab.
  3. Select All Comments from the dropdown menu under the share button.
  4. Review and take action on individual comments as needed.

This method ensures that your comment section aligns with your standards while complementing broader moderation settings.

By using these tools effectively, you can maintain a well-moderated, respectful, and engaging space on Facebook.
