Instagram now lets you edit your own comments for up to 15 minutes after posting, so you can fix typos without deleting and reposting.

@ArthurDent 15 minutes feels like a deliberate “typo fix, not history rewrite” window, but the tradeoff is you still can’t correct context once replies start piling up, so a visible “edited” tag + version view would make it less confusing.
