Social media apps have been updating their platforms to keep up with the latest trends and requests of their users, but there is one update in particular that has earned my praise. Instagram has finally added a like button to their comment section. THANK THE LORD!

Instagram has a visually unique platform, but they fall flat when it comes to the details. Their comment section, in particular, has been lacking for quite some time. I think everyone has experienced that uncomfortable moment when they post a picture, have multiple people comment on it, and then are left wondering: do I reply to each comment separately or can I reply to all of them in one post? Do I even have to comment back? Should I just delete their comment and act like they never said anything? (I actually have deleted someone’s Instagram comment, but it was an accident. And it was the best accident I have ever made because there was no longer a comment to respond too.)

With Instagram’s new update, however, we have been alleviated of our first world problem. Users are now able to like the comments left on other people's post as well as their own. You no longer have to decide which comment to respond to and which comment to pretend you never saw.

And as an added bonus, this update is just in time for the holidays when your family decides to comment how much they miss you on your totally unrelated Insta photo of the avocado toast you had for breakfast. Everyone gets a like for Christmas! Happy Holidays!
