Do you regularly use Facebook and its comment feature? Comments on the social network are becoming more and more important to users, so much so that Facebook is constantly making updates to enhance this feature. Despite all these changes, many Facebookers don’t know the latest advances. If you’re one of them, today we’re bringing you the top six tricks for Facebook comments.

Add visual effects

Facebook has implemented a series of completely free and automatic visual effects. For example, if you add a “Congratulations” to the comments, the social network will add balloons and lots of confetti. Users won’t see it unless they hover their mouse over it, so it’s like a secret… but not that hidden. Also, there are other words such as “xoxo,” “hugs and kisses” or “congratulations.” Try them out, they’re great.

Remove visual effects

We’ve told you how to enable visual effects using words, but maybe you don’t want to have these specific animations. You can disable them. To do this, just click on the three dots that appear to the right of each comment. In addition to the classic commands of “edit,” “delete,” etc., you’ll also see one that says “Remove text effects.” Click there and say goodbye to the problem.

Edit comments

We’ve mentioned this above, but it’s key to highlight: you can edit your comments, too. Click on the three dots and click “Edit.” This way, you’ll be able to change any error you may have made. Of course, we’ll warn you that once you edit a comment, you’ll have to wait a little while to go back and edit it again if you want to.

Change the text font

Facebook doesn’t let you change the default font, but you can paste a text from another source to the social network. For example, Lingojam is one of the most popular web pages for recreating this effect. You just have to write the text you want and in the box to the right, the font will appear as requested. Copy and paste it into the Facebook comment box.

Change the privacy settings

Every post you write on Facebook has several privacy options. By default, it usually comes with comments enabled for friends only, but you can make it so your comments also appear for “friends of friends” or the general “public.” Our advice is that you set the privacy settings to friends only, though it’s up to you.

Add GIFs

It may be a little hidden, but there are several icons on the comments bar. The first is for emoticons, the second is for uploading an image… and the third is for GIFs! This effect brightens up any comment, so go nuts! Facebook’s database is bigger every day, so you’ll definitely find the GIF you want.
