Instagram Comments Not Showing Up

Instagram is a picture and video sharing platform that allows its users to upload their favorite pictures and videos so that they can receive interactions such as likes and comments. This entices people to post on Instagram because they know that they will receive likes and comments.

You can also interact will people on Instagram by commenting and liking their pictures. Usually, there's no issue with comments on Instagram, however, sometimes you may be unable to see comments under someone's post, or you may not be able to see the comment that you posted. There are many reasons why you may be unable to see comments and if you're in this situation now, then you can check why this is happening.

No Comments Under Someone's Post

The main reason why you'll see no comments under someone's post is because they've blocked people from commenting on a particular post. This can be done by clicking on the post options and turning to comment off. This will disable the option to comment on their pictures. If they enable commenting again, then people will be able to comment on their pictures.

If you're unable to see comments under someone's post on the explore page, then you can click on the comment box and view the comments from there. On the explore page, comments are not visible unless you click on the comment box and from here, you'll be able to view the comments.

Can't See Your Comments on Someone's Post

The main reason why you can't see your comments on someone's post is because your internet connection is poor. If you haven't established a good internet connection, things like likes and comments won't be able to go through. Therefore, you can try switching from WIFI to data vice versa to see if you'll be able to restart your connection. If this doesn't work, then you need to restart your router in order to establish an internet connection to post your comment.

blocked offensive comments

Another reason why you won't be able to see your comments is because they've filtered words or blocked offensive comments. If you post certain comments with words in, this comment will automatically be filtered and remove once you posted the comment. Or if they've blocked offensive comments, if you post a comment deemed as offensive, then the comment will be automatically removed as soon as you post it.

down detector

One more reason why you won't be able to see your comments is because of a glitch on the app. If this is the case, then you'll need to restart the app and check if your comment is still there. If not, you can try to comment on it again. If you're still unable to see it, Instagram's servers may be down and you can check using down detector.
