Instagram allows users to like, comment, and interact with posts, but sometimes comments may disappear or fail to load. This can happen due to privacy settings, account restrictions, app glitches, or deleted comments. If you’re unable to see comments on your own or others’ posts, understanding the possible reasons and solutions can help restore your Instagram experience.
No Comments Under Someone’s Posts on Instagram
If you don’t see any comments under a friend’s pic, there are several reasons. The account owner may have blocked the comments on that particular post. Instagram users can disable the option to receive comments on their pictures. It is by going to the post options and turning the comments off. You will be able to post a comment if they open their comment section again.
If you are on the explore page and can’t see the comments on a post, you have to click on the comment box to view them. Comments on the explore page won’t be visible unless you open the comment box.
Can’t See the Comment You Left on Someone’s Post
The most common reason you can’t see the comment you posted on Instagram is that you have a poor internet connection. If your internet connection is weak or your it breaks a lot, the likes and comments you post on Instagram don’t get through instantly. Switching to better wifi or using mobile data can be the solution.
Another reason you may not see your comments is that the account owner has hidden offensive comments or filtered out certain words that, if used in the comments section, would filter out the comment.
Instagram enables users to monitor their comment section by giving the option to “hide offensive comments.” If someone leaves a comment deemed offensive by Instagram, the system will hide the comment. The same goes for the “manual filter,” which allows you to choose specific words that Instagram recognizes in order to hide the comment.
If you are sure none of the above are the problem, there may be a glitch on the app that causes the comments not to appear. You can try to restart the app to check if the problem is fixed.

Never thought this would happen to me but I can’t see the comments on Instagram. I just applied these steps and it does work!
This problem just started today. I tried these and still can’t see more than a couple Comments on posts even though there are many comments. None are hidden for offensive content. My wifi is fine. I restarted phone. I reported it to IG bit no answer. Any help is appreciated!
I have the same problem u have. I’ve done everything they told me too do. I may get only 2 likes a day. No comments on post at all. been trying to find a solution for 2mo.
All of a sudden and for no reason that I know of, I can no longer access comments. What steps did you take to enable you to see the comments? Thank you.
This persons Instagram is public. On one picture it says they have 2 comments but when I go to click in the comments I can’t see them why? I also do not follow this person
The commenters might have deleted their accounts.
Did you find a solution? I have the same thing happening 🙁
I made a selfie post and some of the comments made by my new SO was deleted. He was just publicly flirting. Nothing Inappropriate Why are his comments gone? Neither of us deleted it. Can my ex have reported it?

Helpful… If you’re 70. Very obvious and unhelpful explanations, most of which don’t even actually apply to the question they’re apparently asking.
Hi I blocked my friend by mistake from my instagram account, then I unblocked her…now I can’t see any of her comments on my previous posts..she can still see them…I cannot..is there anyway to fix that? Thank u
When you blocked your friend maybe you have muted her also. Check the mute setting. If it looks like you’ve muted your friend, unmute her. It’s possible to mute and unmute users without blocking them.
What can’t I view comments on Instagram? For example, when I click “view 51 comments”, instead of showing the list of comments as it always has, it pulls up a pop-up(?) type window where the photo that appeared with the post now appears on the left and a place to post comments is on the right. This has been going on for a month or so.
It looks like a technical issue. You may try to report this problem to Instagram. You can read our article about how to report a problem to Instagram as well.
My network is fine everything is working good except my comment section, my comment section is no opening I don’t know why there is no offensive comment nothing it’s very frustrating please answer if there is any solution.
