Instagram recently received a major feature update with the addition of “Notes,” a small message-style text that users can customize, but with the new change, some users have noticed that they can’t see or leave comments under photos and reels. If you’ve noticed this change and are a bit confused, don’t worry, you’re not the only one.
Here’s what you need to know about what’s going on with Instagram comments.
Why did Instagram comments disappear?

It is currently unclear if the missing comment sections are a bug or an intended feature. Instagram has often changed its goals with its new focus on video content and the promotion of suggested posts and ads.
So where did the comments go on Instagram? 🤨

This makes some people wonder if the removal of comments is just another example of the app’s identity crisis. Instagram parent Meta recently announced that he will be testing new features on Instagram for select users, so reducing comments could be a potential test for some. If that’s the case, the backlash against removing one of the app’s core features seems to speak for itself.
Has someone else’s Instagram removed the comment section when you scroll?
Now I have to tap the comment icon on the image to see the comments.

Another explanation for the missing parts of the comment is that it is simply an error. Apps are constantly being updated and changed, especially for Instagram. Fixing or adding something else can create more problems. There hasn’t been an official statement from Meta or Instagram saying they’re testing comment removal, which seems to indicate it’s simply a bug.
So is the comments on Instagram disabled or something?

But companies don’t always comment on all of their latest changes, especially in the early stages of testing. So unfortunately it’s hard to tell which way this is leaning: a bug or a feature.
Either way, there’s a good chance we’ll find out soon, either through an update that fixes comments not appearing or Instagram’s announcement that comments will be removed entirely.
How to fix Instagram comments not showing up
Because the nature of Instagram comment sections is currently unclear, potential solutions are not guaranteed to work. But if you’re missing post comments, there are a few things you can try to get them back. The first would be to sign out of your account and then sign back in. Similarly, deleting the app from your phone and downloading it again might also fix the problem.
If none of that works, go to the app store and make sure you have automatic Instagram updates turned on so that if it’s just a simple glitch, the problem will be fixed on your phone as soon as the update kicks in. We hope your comments on Instagram go hand in hand with these tips want appear and return to normal.
