I"ve tried for weeks to change the default on FB posts comments from Most Relevant to All Comments, to no avail.  Can anyone please give me the steps?  TIA!

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I don't think you can change the default.  You just have to change it per post.  Facebook doesn't want to make anything easy for you.  They also no longer show the option to have your Newsfeed show Most Recent posts rather than whatever FB seems to think you need to see.

Re: Facebook message settings

I didn't think you could set all comments as a default either, but I googled it and there are multiple options that answer your question.  It depends on your device and browser.  You'll find it easIly.

Thank you.  I've done that repeatedly but will try again.  🤞

I wish there was a way of doing this, but I have not found a way. I have been on Facebook for a long time, and I think that's just the way it is, and it IS a pain in the neck

You can't.

Re: Facebook message settings

@Tori3569 unfortunately, you can only set comments to "all comments" as default for posts created by the user.  For example, for posts I create, it shows all comments (per my settings), but if I'm on a public page looking at comments on posts other people created, there is no way to change the default to all comments.  I hope someone can prove I'm wrong, because I'd love to change that feature permanently!

Thanks to all who replied and helped.

 

I think the FB set up on that is ridiculous but FB is ridiculous on many things.  I'll just keep adding 2 more steps to read comments.
