Question 1

What is the Meta "Hidden Words" feature?

Accepted Answer

Hidden Words is Meta's built-in comment filter on Instagram, Facebook, and Threads. Comments and DMs containing words from your list are automatically hidden from public view — you can still see them privately, but other users can't. It's the single most effective free tool brands have for fighting spam.

Question 2

Where do I paste this list?

Accepted Answer

On Instagram: Settings → Hidden Words → Manage custom words. On Facebook Page: Page settings → Privacy → Page moderation. On Threads: Privacy → Hidden words. The tool gives you exact step-by-step instructions for each platform after you generate the list.

Question 3

Will Instagram hide legitimate comments by mistake?

Accepted Answer

It can, which is why this tool generates niche-specific terms rather than overly broad words. Review the list before applying. The "profanity" section is opt-in — if your audience uses casual language, leave it off.

Question 4

How is this different from Instagram's default profanity filter?

Accepted Answer

Instagram's default filter only catches obvious profanity. It misses crypto scams, account-recovery bait, competitor mentions, and niche-specific spam — which is where your worst comments come from. This list adds those.

Question 5

Is there a character or word limit on the Meta list?

Accepted Answer

Instagram and Facebook each accept thousands of characters in the custom words list. The list this tool generates is well under any limit.

Question 6

What if Meta's filter still misses comments?

Accepted Answer

Meta's filter only does keyword matching — it doesn't understand context or coordinated attacks. FeedGuardians adds AI-based moderation on top of your hidden-word list, catching spam, troll patterns, and review bombing in real time across IG, FB, TikTok, and YouTube.
