TikTok comments not loading?

If the comments of a TikTok video won't load in the app, paste the video's link below. The comments are read separately from your app and account, so they show in your browser even when the app spins or says it couldn't load them. The first 500 are free.

Email me new comments

We check this post on a schedule and email you the comments posted since the last check. They also wait on your account page as a file, for 30 days.

With words set, you're emailed only when a new comment mentions one of them; every new comment still goes in the file.

  3. Read, search or save

    Sort by Most liked or Newest, search by word or name, or download the loaded comments as a CSV.
