You can remove posts and comments that you have made on Facebook using the mobile app. You can remove comments others have made on something you've posted, but you cannot delete comments they've left on posts you didn't create. The process for deleting posts and comments is nearly identical for Android and iPhone.
Things You Should Know
- To delete a comment, tap and hold the comment and select Delete.
- To delete a post, tap the three dots at the top-right and select Delete Post.
- You can delete multiple comments or posts at once from your Activity Log.
Steps
Find the comment you want to delete. You can delete comments that you've made on posts, or comments that others have made on your posts. You cannot delete comments that others have made on posts that you didn't create. This process is essentially the same for iPhone and Android. Make sure that you've opened the Comments section of the post.- If you want to delete multiple comments or posts that you've made, or can't find the comment you wanted to delete, see the last section of this article.
Press and hold on the comment you want to delete. On Android, this will open a new menu. On iPhone, release your finger and the menu will appear.[1]- Try to press a blank space in the comment. Pressing the name will open the commenter's profile instead.
