Both options display comments, as well as the option to reply to the post. [1]

Why can't I read comments on Threads?

  1. 1
    You might need to update the app. In previous versions of the Threads app for Android, iPhone, and iPad, it was harder to view comments–tapping the post or number of comments didn't work, which made it seem like you couldn't read comments at all. This was fixed in a more recent update, so check the App Store or Play Store for updates.
  2. 2
    If someone blocked you, you can't see their comments. If there is a Threads user who has blocked your account, their comments, reposts, and quotes won't show up beneath any posts while you're logged in with your account. [4]
  3. 3
    You won't see comments from Threads users with private profiles. If someone with a private profile replied to a Threads post and you aren't following them, their reply to the post will not be visible to you. [5]
  4. 4
    If your parents supervise your account, some comments may not appear. Threads, Instagram, and Facebook have parental control options that limit certain types of content in the apps. If comments are missing and you have a teen account, the hidden comments may have been hidden by Meta automatically. [6]
  5. 5
    The comments may have been removed. If you see a number of comments next to the chat bubble icon below the post but no comments appear when you click or tap the post content, it's possible the comments have been reported and hidden, or that the users have deleted them.

  1. Click or tap the heart icon to view your own activity. If you're using the Threads mobile app, it's the heart at the bottom of the screen. In a web browser, you'll see the heart on the left side. This is where you will see recent comments on your own Threads posts, follow requests, likes, and other interactions with your content.
    • Interested in your insights and other stats? Just go to your Threads profile (click or tap the outline of a person to get there), then click the Stats icon (it looks like a chart) to check out your views, interactions, and follower count. [7]
