How to View All Comments on an Instagram Post

There are two places to read comments: Your activity shows every comment you have left, and any post’s comment icon opens that post’s comments. This guide follows the film through both — the operator’s own comments under Your activity, then the comments on the operator’s own post — with sorting, filtering and the manage-comments menu along the way.

Good to know

  1. The film’s first pass at the Comments list renders as a blank white screen for about 15 seconds (roughly 1:01–1:17): the list only becomes visible as the Sort by sheet opens, and the screenshot below uses a later, identical view of the same list.
  2. Filtering by Shared to Facebook finds nothing: the film applies that filter and gets a “No results” page, then clears all filters to bring the comments back.
  3. The date filter offers Past week, Past month, Past year and a Date range; the film opens that sheet but leaves All dates selected.
  4. Both comments in the film are the operator’s own — “Bro test” and one with no visible text — left on the operator’s own post, so the list and the post show the same two comments.
  5. The operator’s account is a test account (@the_help_screen, display name Test, 1 post, 0 followers, 3 following) — your own counts and comments will differ.
  6. The Manage comments sheet only opens the menu: the film shows Select multiple comments, Turn off commenting, Hide unwanted comments and Change Privacy Settings, but does not use any of them.
