You Can Finally Edit Your Instagram Comments
It happens to the best of us: You write up a comment on an Instagram post, hit send, and, whoops, realize you made a glaring typo. What do you do? Do you delete the comment, retype it, and submit again, doubling the notifications the poster will receive? Leave it, and hope others will overlook your foolish use of "it's" instead of "its"? Neither option is great, but they're the only two choices you have on Instagram, right?
No longer: On Thursday, Instagram announced some exciting news for frequent commenters: Going forward, you'll be able to edit your Instagram comments. Whether you regret one part of your comment, or you only need to fix a mistake, this new feature lets you make adjustments without having to delete your comment entirely, catching up to other platforms that let you make similar edits.
Comment editing, with limits
Comment editing can be a slippery slope. If someone makes a controversial comment but edits it after other people comment en masse, it only creates confusion for users stumbling upon the chaos after the fact. Perhaps that's why Instagram is adding some limitations here. First, you only have 15 minutes after posting a comment to edit it. This is how message editing works on platforms like Apple's Messages app—you only have a finite amount of time to adjust your comments before they're set in stone. Once that 15 minute window is up, your comment is locked to your last edit.
What's more, when you do edit your comments, Instagram places an "Edited" label next to it—letting everyone know you changed the comment in some way. Instagram doesn't make it possible to view the edit history, so no one will be able to see what you said before that last edit—unless, of course, someone took a screenshot of one of your previous comment versions. Also, you can only edit text comments, not images. If you post a comment with an image, you'll need to delete the entire thing to remove that image.
How to edit comments on Instagram
Once you make a comment on an Instagram post, you should now see a new "Edit" button appear next to "Replay" and "Share on Threads." Tap it, and your comment will appear in the text field again. Make your adjustments, then tap the "Send" button again. Remember: You only have 15 minutes from when you first made that comment to make your changes.

Microsoft Is Removing Copilot Buttons From These Windows 11 Apps
Last month, Microsoft announced that it planned to remove "unnecessary" Copilot features in Windows 11. The news was a bit shocking to say the least: Microsoft has been one of the biggest proponents of generative AI, pushing the technology into as many corners of its apps and OS as possible—despite negative feedback from users. Now, it seems the company is paying attention, and is actually sticking to its word.
As spotted by The Verge's Tom Warren, Microsoft has already started removing some "unnecessary" Copilot buttons from certain Windows apps. Warren notes that the latest Windows Insider version of the Notepad app is missing the Copilot button. In its place, Microsoft has added a "writing tools" menu. The Snipping Tool also has a similar situation: When you select an area to take a snapshot of, you won't find the Copilot button anymore.
It's a small start, but at least the company is starting the removal process. In his announcement last month, Pavan Davuluri (Microsoft's President of Windows & Devices) revealed that the company would remove Copilot from both Notepad and the Snipping Tool, but also Photos and Widgets. If the trend holds, expect to see these apps lose their Copilot buttons next.
The keyword here really is "buttons" though. As Warren highlights for The Verge, Microsoft seems to be largely retaining the AI features themselves. "Writing tools" in Notepad still has Microsoft's AI writing tools, in case users still want to access those options. But by removing the large Copilot option, users who want nothing to do with AI in apps like Notepad can easily avoid them. Really, it's evidence that the "in your face" approach Microsoft has taken to AI integration has really backfired. It doesn't help the company's case that, up until last week, Microsoft's official terms of service said Copilot was "for entertainment purposes only."
It's simple enough to remove Copilot buttons from software; it's another thing entirely to deal with the Copilot button affixed to new "Copilot+ PCs." Microsoft had manufacturers add this button as part of its dedication to this new technology, but now that it's pulling back a bit, it leaves these PCs in an odd place. It always seemed like a strange choice to put a Copilot key on a laptop when it wasn't clear how many users really want to use Copilot features in the first place. At least you can remap it to do something more useful if you don't care for Microsoft's AI.
