Last year in June 2021, Facebook started testing a new feature that allows users to add comments in people’s stories. It was available for some beta users then.
However, Facebook has recently rolled out the Story Comments feature to all users worldwide. If you have updated the app to the latest version, you might have seen the message saying “Introducing story comments” while creating a new story.
Here’s what the message screen looks like.
If you share a story, your friends will be able to comment on it. All the comments made will be visible publicly to all your friends.
If you don’t want people to comment on your story, you can turn it off.

2. Tap and open your story.
3. Tap the three dots in the top right, then tap Turn comments off for this story.
4. Tap Turn Off to confirm.
That’s it. People won’t be able to comment on your story.
If you have multiple stories, you can repeat the same process for all of them.
Else you can completely disable comments for all the published stories. Here’s how to do it.
