Free: the count and the first 500 comments. · Several links?
This platform is coming soon. Leave your email and we'll write once when it works.
Step by step
Paste the post link
Copy link from the post's menu, paste it, press Get comments.
Search
Type part of the comment ("discount", "size") or part of the username. The search looks at both and highlights what matched; the line under the bar says how many threads match.
Sort and load more
If it isn't there, press "Load more": the free viewer reads up to 500 comments. For posts with more, export them all and search the file.
Ways people use it
- Finding your own comment on a post with thousands of them: search your username.
- Checking whether a giveaway entrant really commented, and what they wrote.
- Finding the comment a customer says they left about an order, by a word from it.
- Reading only the questions: tick Questions to keep the comments with a question mark.
Questions
Why doesn't my comment show up?
If it was posted from a private account, hidden by the post's owner or filtered by Instagram, it isn't public and can't be read. On big posts it may also be past the free viewer's first comments; export to search them all.
Does it search replies?
The free list is top-level comments. An export with replies on includes every reply, and the file can be searched in any spreadsheet.
Will the account owner know I searched?
No. Reading public comments doesn't notify anyone.
