Why can't I see comments on Instagram application?

[Rhea]

Hello, can anybody please tell me why I'm not able to see comments on Instagram? Is this any new update or something?

If you can’t see comments on Instagram, it could be because the post owner has disabled them, your internet connection is weak, or the app needs an update. Sometimes, Instagram also has temporary glitches. Try refreshing the app, checking your connection, or updating to the latest version to fix the issue.

There are a few common reasons you might not see comments on Instagram:

• Privacy or settings: The account owner may have restricted who can comment or may hide comments containing certain words.
• App glitches: Sometimes, a temporary bug or slow network can prevent comments from loading—logging out, clearing cache, or reinstalling the app usually fixes it.
• Your account status: If you're blocked or restricted by the user, their posts won’t show you comments

Force-Close and Reopen Instagram​

• On iPhone or Android, swipe up or use the app switcher to close Instagram fully, then reopen it.
• Sometimes this refreshes the comment feed.

If you can't see comments on the Instagram app, it could be due to:

• Slow internet connection – A weak signal may prevent comments from loading.
• App glitches – Try force-closing and reopening the app, or update it to the latest version.
• Comment filtering – You or the post owner may have filters or restrictions set.
• Account settings – You might be blocked by the user or have limited interaction permissions.
• Instagram server issues – Sometimes comments don’t load due to temporary outages.

Restart your app and device, check your connection, and update the app to fix the issue.
